Thanks for looking.

I leave my desktop system on 24/7 but turn the laptop on as and when I need it.

Just wondered what others do with their system.

This poll is for the main computer in your house.


24/7 = Exactly that, never off.

PER DAY = Switch on in the morning and off last thing at night.

AS NEEDED = Switch on, surf for a bit, switch off. Switch back on again to send an email then switch it off again.

All comments welcome.

....DreeM :)
 
hmmmmmmmmmmfffffffff :confused: wheres the vote button for "EVEN MORE THAN THAT!!!" lmao :D

yeah guilty as charged !!

i'm afraid of "THERMAL SHOCK" to board and components with it cooling down to fast lol :D
 
I switch it off when I go to bed. I can't sleep with that loud fan sound. besides, why would I leave it on, while I am sleeping?

lmao i thought i was the only one who done this hehe
as and when needed for me,if im dlin through the night it stays on if not then its off.
besides my O&O is set to defrag some files before windows starts so i have to turn it off sometime :)
 
24/7. it works even while i sleep. it usually only goes down when adding new hardware or a bad thunderstorm.
 
176 days is my record, this time its only been on 7 days (but that was for a reinstall so it wasnt exactly off just offline)

i'd reckon i've been offline about 11 days in the last 3 years so i guess that counts as 24/7 (thank god there are soooo many ftp's ;))
 
Only time I turn off is to restart to different OS.
When they come up with a workaround to that Ill be happy.:)

There is no adsl or cable where I live, so I've got the machine hooked up to a satellite dish for downloads.
Like most of you guys it's on 24/7 only the monitor gets turned off.
 
mine has been on 24/7 for the past couple of months..apart from the odd reboot for hardware/driver changes.....bloody adsl means toooo much stuff to download lol
