[Pc_Support] Re: Case w/ good airflow and PSU with good +12V?

[Homer Whittaker]

All this talk about internal temperatures and in general discussions
about leaving a linux  computer up and running for sometimes a year or
more (Bryan what is the highest yours have gone to?) leaves me cold (pun
intended).
I have four sometimes five machines running 24/7 most of the time.  I
never leave the case covers on and turn the airconditioning off in my
office room (20 x 20) each night, so it must get pretty hot in there
someimes.
So this  talk about power supplies heating up and etc, etc. frankly does
not make sense to me.
Secondly, in reference to the leaving the linux boxes on 24/7 I have
neverr had one fail because of capacitors running out of alloted life
times.  I have several motherboards that are 4 or 5 years old and they
run 24/7 or almost.  What another engineering ghost just went out the
window?
Me  thinks the engineers are in cahoots with the manufacturing people so
that they can get their new notions put into play :)
