Is there any problem in continuously running PCs for... say a month without giving any rest to them. I'm using Dell Vostro Desktop, and I run it without break for 2 to 3 days. Is there any risk with the hardwares?

If u arent onto heavy task while u keep them on, use any CPU down clocking utility.
For AMD, enable cool nd Quite and Qfan. This wud reduce power consumption to half nd heat is close to room temperature.

As I said I'm using Dell Vostro Desktops which are having the inbuilt cooling system which I don't know, probably consisting of a fan in the power-supplier and another for microprocessor, can I be sure with that?

Room has 6 PCs of same model and is not air conditioned! Can it be risky to run PCs too much, I'm worrying so much because I'm running internet on all of them 24 hrs. regular. Even if it is necessary to give them rest, please tell me how much time per day will be enough to make sure the compatibility?
