652908 2008-03-26 06:48:00 Just wondering what other people do gary67 (56)
652909 2008-03-26 07:09:00 Depends which ones:

Computers inside the house = Yes

Computers in the workshop = Depends on what they are doing, if doing a long scan - No Other wise yes, but always turn off the monitors if they are left running.

Servers x 2 = No they run 24/7 - 1 is headless, other Monitor off unless needed.

Add in the router and switches and the place looks like a Christmas tree at night :waughh:

I'll say! What with all the routers and Woosh modem and gateway and printers and mobiles/MP3 players being charged and server running, a plane could land thinking it was a runway :lol:

652913 2008-03-26 07:34:00 A poll was a bit of an overkill to me, but I leave mine on. If Im going away for a couple of days i turn it off. rob_on_guitar (4196)
