I've just have had a few people tell me leaving your PC on all the time is OK and the machine "likes" it if you will. Is this true? And if so, what is it that leaving it on helps? I'd think you'd run a chance of overheating myself, but I am no computer whiz so who knows!

When you turn on your computer there tends to be a small spike in the power going through the system. If you cycle the power enough you could eventually cause significant dammage to your computer.
There is however a counter this argument, namely that ICs only have so much run time in them. This however is a function of temperautre so it isn't a real problem if your comptuer is kept cool.
