Mostly down to playing a few games and then setting the d/l! I have to say I think the longest for my laptop (HD screen, one of my first, if not the first post I wrote for Gadzooki) is about 3 days.

For instance, with OS X you can run automated maintenance scripts that purge old logs and caches, so your system can still be spiffy even after months of being online (with sleep in between). Same with Linux, I believe (sometimes I just restart the X server if things start to screw up). With Windows, longest I've stayed online was about a month and a half, with hibernates in-between. Still, I think it's healthy to at least your OS every once in a while (a couple of times a week) so you can start afresh, and without the added baggage of long logs, and large caches, swaps and temp files.
