What do you do with your computer at night!?

[grimxx]

Just leave it there, either download demos, or burning dvd, cleaning up stuff etc. Its a good time to do stuff that I don't feel like doing in the day

I usually shut my main rig down. My linux server in my closet keeps running, but it is dead quiet, cuz theirs no fans

I can't stand the leds of my main rig in my room if I am trying to sleep, my wireless router lights also bug me, so I usually shut my router down

I turn mine off every night

well i dunno if it could overheat

if i had a laptop i definatly would not leave it on all night,But thats just me

it wouldnt overheat.. because if you're not doing anything with the pc, its running idle anyway the only thing would be the the Fans (and perhaps the HDD drive) wearing off faster.


as for the question.. I turn mine off when I go to bed. cant sleep with it turned on anyway. (its not loud, but it just annoys me enough to keep me awake )

one pc stays on 24/7 because its hosting gameservers.
my gameing pc is on pretty much 24/7 for downloading.
other pc in the house usually gets turned off at night.



and, a computer wont overheat if being left on overnight. 'overnight' is generally only 5-8 hours. so if you think 5-8 hours of being on will make it overheat, then you have some cooling problems. theres billions of computers all over the world that running 24/7 without problems. if you have the pc on all day and theres no problems then you could easily have it on all night without problems. day is generally around 16 hours compaired to 8 hours of night.

Only time my computer is not on is when I'm at work. Otherwise, I always leave it running. Only thing i'll turn off is all the LED lights. The fans though act as a night light for the living room hehe.
