Re: Ventilation/cooling of PCs

Rick,

I'm surprised that you feel this. My hard drives all run "power
saving" and
shut themselves down when they haven't been used for about 10 minutes. How
much power does a an array of hard drives in standby mode actually used
compared to, say, a fridge?

I guess guys on this list are not very ecologically biased then - that
is a LOT of electricity being used 24Hrs a day.
