The longest I've left it on for is about 7 hours, and it didn't really get that hot, and I've had no problems so far.

I'm in the same boat.

Just make sure that your Wii is well ventilated. And make sure you don't have your Wii sitting on the ground (if you have carpet) as all sorts of dust and whatever can get caught up in the fan vents, blocking the air flow to the Wii.

I have had mine a month or two and have only turned it of twice, it never feels hot, I was just asking if maybe I should turn it off more often
