I've got a 2Gb version on the way and have a question about continuous usage of the device - can it be left switched on 24/7 without the risk of it overheating?
The reason being is that I intend to use it as a small server / home automation device, so the intention would be to leave it switched on for the duration of its life.
I've had a look thorugh the rest of the forum, but can't find any similar queries, so I thought I'd ask outright!
I'm doing exactly the same here - it will be a home automation / sensor logger server, and I am running mine 24x7 without any issues. I also have put a heatsink on the CPU, and it is currently idling at 45c. It seems to be working well, even when I was compiling some stuff on it for a while... where it was busy pulling 1.3A for a few hours!
