Lit PC setups are nice and all until you try to go to sleep with them in the same room. I miss plain old PC cases that hide their components so I can seed overnight.
Maybe I am oldschool or just german but I always shutdown the system and then also turn off the Steckdosenleiste (what is the english word? Power strip?)
No, but an old laptop or a Raspi that functions as server. Which stands in the ugliest corner of your apartment and is bothering no one. Or are you running some crazy multiphase modeling simulations? My gaming PCs needs to much power to run some containers.
I figured the types who seed a lot also are likely to have a little low power server to handle it instead of the high idle draw of a gaming PC.
But if a gaming PC was intended to be on 24/7, then putting RGB and screens in it and putting it where one sleeps seems like a backwards move lol. Might as well save the pile of money from that and make it a silent build with no lights.
I picked up a Monsterlabo case, fully enclosed fanless, just vent at bottom ans top. No lights, no fans…best PC decision for a machine that stays on to run containers at night while main PC during day

You guys don‘t turn off you computer when going to sleep?
Thats what sleep mode is for.

Of course not, we’re running servers and piholes and shit on VMs and containers and whatnot.
On the gaming rig?
Who the fuck can afford more than one rig…?
Besides, Steam says I have 496GB of updates to download

Just put it to sleep, I don’t understand leaving the PC on 24/7
Does it keep on seeding in sleep mode then? Thought that it halted all processes.

Normally you can turn off all the lights
I can do it for the video card but some lights on the mobo are for status so that’s not easily doable.
