I would think it's okay since they were originally used by cable companies and the like 24/7, they had them rack mounted and there may have been a cooling fan or at least A/C to keep them cool.Worst that could happen is they burn up a component and pop the fuse.

you might want to recap the power supply inside the unit to increase reliability, use 105c Nichicon or Panasonic Caps for long life.

What you are feeding it with is on 24/7 also? Cable box maybe, it's at least as safe as that.

I don't leave mine on but that because electricity is expensive in California, also I use it with a DVD player so it wouldn't make sense to leave it running 24/7
