Hi guys!
I have a quick technical question. I am using a 2010 27'' iMac in target display mode with an Alienware ALX tower. It works extremely well and everything, but I have a small issue: Every source suggests both computers should be turned on before being plugged in, but noone ever mentions turning the computer on while it is plugged in. I would like to know if I risk damaging anything if I turn the ALX tower on while it already is plugged via displayport to my iMac, as I'd rather not plug/unplug everything all the time (it would wear the plugs pretty fast...) and if anyone has any experience with this.
Thanks for your replies
