    No, I worry about the paraffin (kerosene) running out and the system crashing - thinking of upgrading to mains gas though.

    does anyone have linkage to a very precise calculator for calculating on how much your machine runs up on the electricity bill?

    I dont leave mine 24/7. I turn it off when i go to school, because if my parents see it on they get pissed. I leave it on almost every night to mainly upload/seed stuff.

    once i had to travel for 15 days, didn't want to shut down PC, so made a huge fkin list of stuff that i would like to download and let the PC do the rest.

    Left it runnin for 15 days...non-stop, no other shit runnin at the background....downloaded more than 450gigs in 15 days.....

    since then my PC is barely off.... its now runnin over a month, i-e non-stop...
