BlueWolf Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Logged into my server just now and was greeted by this For non-geeks: I have a computer running in the attic. It has been turned on 803 days ago and never has been shutdown or rebooted ever since Every properly maintained computer can run for days, weeks and months straight. But never had I ever one that got more than 800 days! The last time I touched that box was in the summer of 2011 and it's still running strong!

BlueWolf Posted October 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Why have you got a computer running in the attic? I host parts of my own website on it, host a few games, can access all my files remotely from it, can download big files overnight, etc. But more importantly: For the sheer fun of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 OH !!!! Jos, What have you done ??? Pray Linda never even thinks about that PC ever again. Don't you know she's a fully trained Schrodinger Observer. If she even considers the possibility that it might or might not have stopped working. . . . . Well the Cat WILL be in the Box.

We've got a very energy conserving one and have even modified it. It makes barely any noise or heat. I even have another one (the black box in the bottom left) that's using even less energy as it has no moving parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
