So how stable is your system?
I just rebooted mine after 16 days and 7 hours because of a network setting change, but she was still running like a champ. _________________ |¤| |

there isn't an option for what we need. The only reboots Bunni's, Mine and the PVR do, are the ones for software installs or updates. The DX's at home only get shutdown when I need to use the outlets in the garage. Other than that they run 24/7. The DX at the office never gets shut off. Oh and that good ole dual PIII runs 24/7 too. D2OL keeps all these machines up and going  _________________ I tweaked and it tweaked back! So I Tweaked some more!

Mine never gets shut down, either, just restarts for software updates, and the occasional safe-mode virus scan. Other than that, she runs 24/7. _________________ Big enough to scare you |

It is you and those like you who should answer "I don't even have a power button"....which was supposed to mean that the system is never turned off.

oh I am sorry, I just wasn't familar with what a power button was, so that is why I didn't choose that option. I think I wil google this thing you call "power button"  _________________ I tweaked and it tweaked back! So I Tweaked some more!

Try the term "soft on."
I have a couple d2ol boxes that haven't even been rebooted since the January windows update. Hmmm maybe I should update again.  _________________ .

Now that I am having some electrical work done at the house we shouldn't have to shut any of the machines off. That is unless the main 200 amp breaker pops again.  _________________ I tweaked and it tweaked back! So I Tweaked some more!

oh if it were MY house I would be spending the 10-15k to get some solar panels up there. And actually the electric bills aren't that bad.
The electrician came out yesterday and ran two 20 amp circuits into the loft area to help support the computer gaming area. YAY no more worries of popping a breaker!! He also informed us that about the only reason a 200 amp main wil pop is if there is a surge in the incoming power, so we have no worries there with the power we are using. _________________ I tweaked and it tweaked back!

Not too bad.
Im running 2K pro - needs a reboot every 2-3 days - though i try to reboot it every day. Or at least shut it down at night.
The fans and drives are are annoying even when on low lol. _________________ "I am not retreating. Merely advancing from a different direction" |
