Yeah, I consider myself very lucky, as I leave the machine on all the time. I was sitting next to it when it burst into flame, and cutting the power put it out. In the future I plan on cutting the time for it to go into hibernation. Fortunately it's a metal case that doesn't burn, but I'm still thinking about bending some tin to act as baffles over the vents, and setting it on a metal plate.
I put my computer into sleep mode when I'm not using it for a longer period of time. It seems to shutdown everything but keeps some power to keep the data in RAM alive. So it turn back on instantly.
