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.

Just put it to sleep, I don't understand leaving the PC on 24/7

Does it keep on seeding in sleep mode then? Thought that it halted all processes.

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...

10000% seed off network storage using a pi.
