I'm not talking about some servers in the corner that aren't touched, I mean your desktops.
Mine isn't really big yet but I'm working on it..

72 hoursl, in Windows 98!

gaming binge, summer holidays, a sort-of LAN party thing

My record for my desktop box that I use is 15 days. That is of constant use and I must say for XP that is a long *** time. I play around a bit with my Linux box, but not all the time, and it has been on for over a month.

Here's Penguin - Deus and I use this machine for a Dedicated UT2K3 gameserver.

My longest uptime was 43 days. I just wanted to see how long I could run under XP before "needing" to reboot. I finally had to reboot because I updated some drivers, so I still don't know how long I could have gone. I normally reboot once a week or maybe a little longer so I don't think it such a great feat. It is however an eternity if you compare it to my 98 record of two days.

I believe mine is around a week, and that's when I was gone, and left the machine on to crunch SETI and download a movie I believe. That's with ME.

one trick for windows 9x/me is to reboot at least once a week lol

for me; it was several months ago - 32 days total uptime and connection time, but i had to shut down to add in some ic's. (Win2K Pro)

2 days (Win98)
9 days (Win98 SE)
26 days (WinXP Pro)

~60days, it was a win2k ftp server.
have to reboot to add RAM.

2 days and 20 hours on my Win2K Laptop. Although I might of cheated since I do use the Hibernate option to shut down

You should put UD on that server LNCPapa, look at it's load average

I bet there are some internet servers that have been up for years.

Yes Veh, I have seen some servers that have been up for 730 something days. It was nuts, and that was about a year ago, I am sure they are still running strong.

I'm leaving for Denver on Saturday morning, will get back Thursday sometime. I plan on leaving it up while I'm gone so my roommate can still access the internet - and so I can get a longer uptime
Should be on 16 days when I get back.

Bump - 16 days and still going.

Some people might find the program SNGX uses useful, I found it on google here:

One day, any longer and it would catch on fire.

My record with MiniMe, which was formerly a machine I used to run eggdrop and bnetD as well as IRC and ICQ, running Win98SE, lasted 11 weeks, 4 days (81 days) before the power went out...

None of my XP machines have passed 2 months, though all of them have exceeded 6 weeks at one point. I usually find a reason to restart, or do something stupid like trip the power breaker.

My server, sad to say, although it used to be rock solid (Its uptime was approaching 200 days), now goes down more then your cash flow goes down on the vegas strip. Everything autorestarts of course, but it currently lasts about 3 days between crashes.

Currently my win98 box is beating the crap out of all my other boxes, regardless of OS.. and is approaching a third month. XP keeps giving me bluescreens while playing games using Glide (I have a voodoo 5 in that box), but I blame it on video card drivers.

Wow that is pretty impressive there Soul. I wish I could keep from installing new programs and drivers, etc. to stay up that long. Otherwise I usually restart about once a week or so.

My main machine, I sleep in the same room as it. After I got DSL, I found an excuse to make it so quiet that I could. Both my machines will be up 24/7 now.

That's running XP Pro too, BTW...

I worked a consulting job at Smith Barney in 2000...we were upgrading some of their servers....and they had a few NT4 servers that hadn't been rebooted in close to 2 years. They were actually worried that some of them might not come back up...pretty funny stuff...

Well, the Techspot server had around 260 days of uptime... Now it's been a bit erratic due to upgrades and reconfigurations though...

I have a Windows 2000 server in school that has 180 days uptime, it is not on a UPS :eek:

My teachers has told me of a Novell 3.11 server that had 5 years of uptime... Same thing there; when it is shutdown it will most probably not come online again because the harddrives motors will be worn out... They wont be able to take the stress of spinning up...

Yea, my firewall had 60 days uptime also, an AST P133mhz ;-)

Had to turn it off because I was heading for a LAN party in Sweden www.Birdie.org last week and wanted the UPS it and my computer was connected to with me (and I actually made use of it because our row had the fuse blow once ;-)
