I thought that was a joke at first!! I've never seen/heard of a liquid cooled computer... You must've built that yourself. Where does one buy that stuff like that??
Crazy.

Crazy.

Last week I would have thought it was a joke but I heard the Computer geek at work saying we need a liquid cooled computers for the part of the machine shop i work in since its located near the ovens...

 

[moboman]

Wont the water heat up near the machines, too?

 

[Mr_Roboto]

When I break the LAN down I'll try to get a few pics before I pack it up. I have a little of everything here, and it will be a major rebuild effor when I move honestly. My buddy had a pre-made water cooling kit for his computer, they are great if you need extended capacities for running a system beyond it's specifications.

 

[saskvan]

we have a apple e mac thats about 3 years old and time for a good cleaning, does any one know any thing about mac computers?????

 

[moboman]

Sorry, I dont know much about apples. I tried working on one a couple times. Macs suck! Sorry, had to say it. :?

 

[Mr_Roboto]

OK, finally got the LAN broken down. Here's a buncha pics.

Leftual P166, 240mb RAM. Lightning fast Trio64 video, and a 10/100 NIC Slackware equipped. Dedicated IRC machine.
Right:My main work station. Athlon 2500+, 512 RAM, Radeon 9600 Pro, no creative sound card (seem to have a problem with them crapping out) despite the live drive. DVD R/W, CD-RW.

My trio of 19 inch monitors; didn't spend a dime on em, Viewsonic has a slight burn on it but not bad, the middle one needs a few capacitors in it but works and the last one was a freebie that I do not know why they got rid of it. DUMPSTERDIVING RULES!!!!!

right:my LAN file server, ~.38 TB, DVD drive and CD-RW. Slackware Linux and a 4gb drive for the operating system. Rage 128 Pro, XP 2600+ and 512 RAM. Left:IBM PC Server 320 case, future mod victim.
Midle:Cabletron 10/100 switch 24 port.
Top3 600, 64 RAM 4gb drive and 3 NICs. OpenMOSIX computer in the future, at least that's the plan. Slackware Linux installed

 

[moboman]

Wow a linux guy... :bigsmile:

I wish I were a little less lazy, I'd go take some pics of my linux boxes.

 

[dumb lady]

Oh man, I wouldn't know the first thing to do with any of that stuff. :dunce:

 

[SoraD]

The eMac can be a pain in the butt to get apart and especially difficult to get back together. Your best bet is to use a can of compressed air to blow the gunk out of it. I've had a couple of those and they're dependable, although the CRT is prone to crapping out.

 

[Black89cs]

Aaaand while I'm at it here's my setup. I use macs, but I'm not one of those rampant fanboys that insult PC users... I've had my fair share of both, so if anyone has any Mac questions feel free to shoot a PM my way.
