Hi Paul,

Just you mention that in standby everything switches off, tried on
mine and only discs stop.. but psu fan and i think cpu fan still running?

Any idea if all PC's should switch everything off or just some PC's?

I have an asrock 741 mobo see for specs

Regards


Gary

quite easy to implement that with IR control with no extra hardware.
Another advantage is that upon remote "on" it's available almost
instantly, - no boot-up.

Antec Aria case that I'm using. Now that I have sorted out putting it
in standby mode it's no longer an issue, using the power toggle button
on the MCE remote I can put the PC in and out of standby mode at the
touch of a (remote) button. the transition in either direction takes
no more than about 2 seconds, when in standby, everything is spun down
and it is totally silent, and on switch-on the MCE interface is there
"instantly"
