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.
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…
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?)

Just put it to sleep, I don’t understand leaving the PC on 24/7
some people self host
Does it keep on seeding in sleep mode then? Thought that it halted all processes.

10000% seed off network storage using a pi.
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.
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.
