NCC10281982B Posted April 27, 2004 Posted April 27, 2004 Dad just gave me an altumatum to shutdown my comps whan I'm not home or not using them. It has something to do with power consumption and heat. I hereby bequeaf that Tempesta should hold 80'th phace with honor and courage as I have. So now my dual proc will only be one for about 3 hours instead of all the time. Should get the initave I could wind a way to hide a fare in the crwal stace, though networking could be a problem. I'm open to sigustions, people. This Bites. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurosen Posted April 27, 2004 Posted April 27, 2004 Or you could always just get quiet fans and pull the LEDS out so he'll never know it's on Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangar Posted April 27, 2004 Posted April 27, 2004 Or you could always just get quiet fans and pull the LEDS out so he'll never know it's on Sneaky, but I like it. Why not convince him that you will take other measures to conserve energy elsewhere to make up for it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC10281982B Posted April 27, 2004 Posted April 27, 2004 I'll think of something. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cGrUnDy Posted April 27, 2004 Posted April 27, 2004 Also there is a FAQ on the f@site wich includes aproximated numbers of how much folding costs in terms of electricity. In California a 24/7 folding pc costs about $6 a week. (I'm sure they didnt use a rig like mine, with 11 fans for that estimate) compared to the $3 a normal use pc costs, folding only ads an extra $3 Show your dad that page.

Nerm Posted April 27, 2004 Posted April 27, 2004 does your dad know that it is harder on the comp's hardware psu, monitor, etc... to turn the comp on and off multiple times a day rather than just leaving it running all the time. also it takes more power and electricity to power one up than it does to run it for a couple of hours.

NCC10281982B Posted April 27, 2004 Posted April 27, 2004 No to all, Nerm, Cheese, cGrUnDy. He only uses his comp once a month. Computer, Refrigorator, Same thing in his book as far as I can tell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
