[QUOTE="Mike D90, post: 295982, member: 17556"] No, no one here to make a post for me even if I left it on. I turn it off out of habit. - It does use electricity while on, no matter how small a draw. - Hard drives can get warm and need to cool down (I don't have lots of fans in side the box) - Cooling fans can lock up and even cause possible fire hazard - Our power utilities is horribly unreliable anyway and we have power blinks several times a day anyway - We are prone to storms in spring/summer and I unplug the DSL cable from the wall when I leave the house for more than half a day - I have read about other possible vulnerabilities by staying logged into an account that is left unmonitored So, taking all that into consideration, what is the point in leaving a box running if I am not home to use it?
