Ya, heat is also a problem and I afraid my 6 year old power supply’s fan will stop running suddenly…
Platypus: instead of saerching for aliens, why don’t contribute to folding@home? It is more meaningful.

I use to switch my PC on like forever but soon realise that my room was way warmer then the other room in my home. Switch on the PC only when I need it and the temperature got slightly better.

previously, I had my pc on all the time for days but now with the very hot climate I had to turn it off sometimes, except for the server and router/firewall. With my previous distro, it took about 40 seconds to boot up so that’s become one of the reason I’d never shutdown. Now I got 20 seconds for boot, so it’s not a big problem anymore. Restarting is not a pain anymore. I’d really love the idea of running it all the time. You can have cron done all the fancy and cool things you would expect. I thought my longest uptime would be 20 days. The only part need to concern is the HD, it’s so hot.

For a dial-up user like me, I have to switch off my PC. But actually according to
the Readers’ Digest a few months back, it is indeed better to keep it switched on.
Well, apparently the PC is more durable when kept switched on.
