yeehihello bodhi_zazen ! How are you? Do you have a bit of time now?16:23
vinnie_hi folks18:52
vinnie_Does anyone have an opinion on how safe it is to leave an old PC on 24/7 as a server?18:55
SkippersBossSafe in what way ??19:06
vinnie_well am bit of a nueb, but i've managed to get zoneminder workin -its a cctv programme, and if i head off for a week and leave it running i'd be worried about the PC overheating -perhaps catching fire? etc19:08
SkippersBossi do not now what the power output of the machine is. but I and I am sure a lot of users here have had their machines up and running for quite a while19:10
vinnie_thanks for that , and i'll do more research on power output, and the fans ect, -  but generally do you think alot of folks here would leave a 'standard' enough machine running for long periods...19:13
SkippersBossi have in the past19:13
SkippersBosssome people run mail servers/ or file servers... usually discarded machines just just for a specific purpose. I would clean (remove dust) the inside of the machine. Spent time on the fans and ribs on the processor. If after that the machine doesn't mae any specipic noises / have a nice holiday :-)19:16
vinnie_ok, cool -  yeh its a noisy machine alright! Thanks for that!19:18
