Spinning up a drive over and over is the quickest way to destroy drives. The biggest consumer of power in a PC setup is almost always the monitors. Set everything up for DPMS and you'll save a lot of power, far more than APM could ever save you. If you *really* want to save power, you design servers from the beginning by picking power efficient components, underclocking, etc. -Dan -- [-] Omae no subete no kichi wa ore no mono da.
