Antec heard you like screens so it stuck a 5-inch screen on a water cooler just where you didn't need one

You guys don‘t turn off you computer when going to sleep?
Of course not, we're running servers and piholes and shit on VMs and containers and whatnot.

Who the fuck can afford more than one rig..?

Thats what sleep mode is for.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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?)

Power is generally very cheap in the US, so the ~5 watt power draw is nothing. Rough calculation would be something like 50 cents per month.

10000% seed off network storage using a pi.

Screens, screens and almost certainly more screens.

BeBoxen had der blinkenlichten and we all thought it was so cool, but I can't help but think we should have reflected on this obvious potential future and pulled back on it.

It's not always easy to source unadorned components, especially when you are working with a budget. People who seed aren't power users, they are pirates. Few of them are building a machine specced specifically for most optimal seeding 24/7...

My idiot butt got a custom pre-built just a couple weeks ago and the cooler pump has one of those screens as well. It is not working and I suspect a plug is set wrongly, but the pump works.
Fixing it would mean ripping apart the pristine cable management and I do not care about lighting as much.
Otherwise I am fully satisfied, but it niggles me a little bit to have paid 20-30 bucks more for a cooler feature that does not work.
Maybe one day when I need to rip up the cable management anyway, I will fix it.
