NO i don't shut down...and if you need the fresh comp in the morning, just restart the computer in the morning!
----------------------------------------also, if you don't want to loose the results, there is a UDmonitor 4.45...so you can get him im the morning to restart afetr next save...link: http://udmon.sourceforge.net/ and about new starting...the worst time for the computer is not to be overcoocked - it's when you turni it ON! most of the computers DIE in that time!  and about the bill...you spend more if you let the bold ON during the night! |

13 pcs here at home have been running for 5 years plus...
never had any problems except for power going off but thats an easy fix when the power is back on.. the heat and cooling of the vomponents inside of the pc is what shortens the life... i have an overclocked xp2500m running at a little ofer 2.5 gig, has been for the 5 years plus still runs as good or better than when i first built it..... |

What is this 'off' button you speak of?? I've never seen one.... but there is a button on the front that is used to turn the machine back ON after a power failure or hardware transplant.      |

Where's the power button? Who needs the power button? Just set the bios to automatically start the computer after power loss. Then if you happen to not be around then it will start up and happily crunch away, and you might never know. Now, about that missle launcher.... http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/cubegoodies/86b8/ That's the closest thing to a missle launch button I could find. Looks pretty fun. |
