Be a part of one of the biggest global experiments ever to take place on the internet. The idea behind the experiment is to find out how many people can go without a computer for one whole day, and what will happen if we all participate. Shutdown your personal computer tomorrow and see if you can stand for 24 hours without a PC. Click here (http://www.shutdownday.org/) to find out more.

Dude...IVe been a few weeks without mine and no problems. Of course, I have a Ps3 and a 360 to take my mind off it. HDTV with HD Satellite and the like. Plus, its nice outside, can go fishing, swimming, boating, playing BB (base and basket) etc. Shouldnt be hard for me, but Ill be putting my new AT8 MOBO in, Opty 165 and 2gb Gskill memory.
I might be able to do it. I think I might have gone one day before with out my pc. I have a new dual sport motorcycle to ride (appox. 700 ,miles on it and they are all mine) and the weather is supposed to be good. So I will be out revving my Suzuki DRZ 400S around the Sierrra Nevada mountains and leaving my Antec NSK1300 turned off.

When the organisers of said experiment/whatnot pay for a dedicated server for me, then maybe. Until then, my workstation is going to continue to double as a server.
PS while you're buying me a server, throw in a few interesting books to occupy me with.
K thnx :rolleyes:.
about this idea:
NO F^CKING WAY!!! :mad:

I'm going to cheat a bit - on saturday I'm going to buy parts - but with someone else so its technically nothing to do with my pc, and it won't even be fabricated, but I can still get my fix:cool:

kakaka that's what I'm talking 'bout! Anyway, I believe:
* 8 outta 10 of us won't be able to do it
* 2 will be able to do it BUT just for ONE day! unless his comp dies after being turned off LOL
That's all I gotta say. Myself will leave it on no matter what! even the president come to my house I'm just gonna say: "sorry sir my life depends on it :slap: "

shutdown day....what a dumbass idea.
If people were really serious about carbon emissions, the government would force car manufacturers to stop designing/selling internal combustion engine cars and start replacing them with hydrogen/biofuel/electrics.
But they arnt, so I say.
Good day.

I shut down... but I didn't know this was happening. I was out doing an hike for DoE (some people in England will know what that is) so didn't get the chance to use my PC.
