I don't know about Tiger, isn't there a setting in the energy control
panel to put the display to sleep? I have a 400MHz DV iMac that doesn't
put out heat when it's in sleep mode and I'm running 10.3.9 with an
80GB Maxtor 7200rpm and 640MB RAM.

Hi all, I have a 400 MHz Blueberry iMac that I upgraded with 512 megs
RAM and a 40GB 7200RPM Seagate HDD. I'm running OS X 10.4.2. Since
I'm constantly using this computer on and off for school, I like to
put it to sleep. But I notice that even though the power light is
blinking amber, the monitior still puts off a lot of heat, and that
tells me that the monitor is not really turned off. What I was
wondering was, since this computer has no fans and since I have
installed a hard drive that generates more heat than the stock one
did, if I never turn it off and only put it to sleep, will I be
setting myself up for failure because of overheating? Also, since
sleep doesn't seem to kill the power to the monitor, could I be making
my monitor fail sooner? I know this is an unusual question, but I'm
just curious.
thanks
