How long does your PC Stay on for?


Let me tell u a bit about mine here
the real truth is I NEVER TURN MY PC OFF!!!

Right now I would estimate that it has not been turned off since Feb 2005!!!

I think I turned it off then for a couple of hours. Obvioulsy I have restarted it many times, courtesy of Win XP! :)

For me my pc is almost the same as my fridge, because these two beautiful items are the ones i have on 24/7!

What about you?
 
Goes on when i get up, and goes off when i go out for a long time or go to bed - no point in it being on when no ones using it really.
 
I second that lol i turn it off when go to bed (wastes power) :P lol

Just turn it on when i get back frm school then off when i go to bed ... but sometimes my bro goes on it when i trying to get sleep ! lol :@

hehe
 
doesnt it annoy u that u have to turn it back on?

cuz here i just leave it running
my main worry is leaving it connected to net that feels a bit dangerous :(
 
Not really since doesn't take that long to turn on ! ;) lol Be patient my friend !!!

That's another issue ... the internet :S

Wouldn't trust it ! haha
 
Just on when im in and out when im not. Just thought, i would never worry about leaving a desktop on, but since i got my new laptop, anyone know of any reason i cant just leave that on all the time? Basically, any difference between laptop and desktop in terms of being left on?
 
usually around 6 hours during the week sometimes 8 depends when i get in then weekend around 8 hours depends if i go out i turn it off but when im in its usually on
 
Mines turned on when I get up, and off when I go to bed - total about 16 hours a day.
 
Up until recently I had four machines on 24/7. I've had every machine I've ever owned on 24/7 since May 2001.

Why? 'Crunching' protein work units for United Devices trying to find a cure for Cancer.

There are other programs trying to find cures for illnesses, including Cancer and AIDS, such as Find A Drug (FAD) and Folding At Home.

But now I have one machine for sale and I just received the biggest electric bill I've ever had in my life. So I'm scaling things down a little, but still have my main one on 24/7.

Since May 2001 I've actually completed almost ten years worth of UD work units helping them scientists find a cure for cancer.

That's sortta like saying I've had the equivalent of one computer running full time for ten years, in four years.
