Has not caused any failures yet, but you are correct it is not a good idea.

Hmm, can't running your laptop with the lid closed cause overheating
problems?

I used a Sony laptop that had a dead, black screen for over a year. Since
most of the time I use an USB keyboard and powered external speakers I
just kept the lid closed. It worked great and my daughters stopped asking
to borrow my computer! Now that I have a working laptop, I often close
the lid and use my external speakers and USB keyboard. The screen turns
off when closed. I can not remember if this was something I had to change
a setting in the Power Management Control Panel to make it work this way.
However, I may need to buy a few Netbooks to stop my daughters requests.

Lol It just dawned on me. Are you talking about desktop or laptop
computers?
In laptops most will only have the opportunity to turn the screen way
low,
but not entirely off. The programs that you can install to turn them off
will only stay off until you press a key again, then the screen comes
back
on.
On mine I just have the screen light turned to the lowest possible,
saves
some energy probably in the process as well.
