@ Directive
How are things going with your setup? Get everything smoothed out?
@ PB
I would just leave it on, but I've gotten very conscious of wasting electricity and pretty much
anything else now that I'm out on my own and it comes out of my pocket. Not to say that you
don't have to support yourself either, but with my student loans and such it makes me really
scrutinize things like wasting a lot more than most people I'd imagine.
I'd be interested to see just how much power my 850W PSU draws at idle, and then figure out
how much power is wasted when I'm not using it. I don't know if it's enough of a reason to buy a
Kill-A-Watt.
The SSD came in on Saturday. I have to take my computer up to my dads garage and hit it with an
air compressor... needs the ole "spring cleaning". I don't know if I'll hold off until the weekend to do
the reformat or just go for it tomorrow.
