I actually heard that didnt know if it was true or not [/quote:3174d2b432]

Yeah its true, wires inside your puter expand when hot, and shrink when cold. If that kept happening every day your wires will snap or something eventually.

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..

another 24/7 guy here... my server (for LAN) computer in my room and bros room are always on 24/7 reboots probably once every fortnight for mine and bros comps... server is about 1nc every month or maybe a bit longer... running webserver off all 2 and FTP on server... all seems pretty cool haven't come across any probs...

my comps @permanent home(middle of nowhere): is on always on, as I have isdn and it shares the connection with the other computers connected from it.

Running Xp on all systems

I would leave my computer on 24/7 but its too **** load.....the fans are too much for me...but i plan to get this stuff the dampers the sound down a bit, then hopfully i can keep it on.

1- 120mm blowfan on top

2- 80mm fans in front

2- 80mm fans in the rear

1- 80mm fan on the side

1- blue orb on the chipset

1- blue orb on the vid card

1- delta 7200 rpm fan on CPU

You would go nuts just hearing my PC on.

Speaking of loud -- add a couple of scsi hard drives to the mix. Those suckers can wake the dead sometimes.

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:

[Micropocalypse]

i leave mine on most of the time, but reboot quite often.
