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?)
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
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.
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…

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

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.
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.

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.

10000% seed off network storage using a pi.
