If that kept happening every day your wires will snap or something eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FthrJACK Posted December 29, 2001 Share Posted December 29, 2001 its bad for a car, but you arent going to run it 24/7, leaving it on tickover is bad too ( for a car ). ever turned on an electric cooker and heard it making "pinking" sounds? or when you turn the car engine off on a cold day you hear the same thing, we are talking about large lumpy metal things here that are designed to withstand heat expansion, a pc isnt, and the parts inside can be thinner than a human hair..

LS_Dragons Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 Speaking of loud -- add a couple of scsi hard drives to the mix. Those suckers can wake the dead sometimes.LS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 I remember when I was a teenager...it was who had the most bass coming out of their car...now it's the loudest computer? Well, mines loud enough for me...no thanks on adding any more fans! BTW--I usually leave mine on all the time but things start to screw up after a while so I have to reboot and I shut down overnight sometimes.Rick:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
