Journal Trillan's Journal: Construction? 5
Anyone know what effect local (very, very local) construction is likely to have on hardware? It feels like the thrumming of a ferry crossing in my office all the time.
Specifically, is there any reason at all to think turning the hardware off will help? I usually leave my PC on so I can work on it from home.

If you're really worried about it, you might try sticking a couple of old mouse pads under the computer as a kind of Rube Goldberg shock absorber.

Drives are pretty resistant to that sort of damage even when they're going full speed, and most business use won't see a hard drive spinning much at all...Looking at my little green hard drive idiot light, I see an access blink every 30 seconds or so
