That's the future of PCs, integration.

The guy manufactures those tables for sale so you can order one.

that dude actually drilled holes in his wall to have the heat exchangers of his water cooling in the next room...nutjob

No crazier than pumping your dryer vent outside.

No fan or pump noise that way.

As a side note I once met a chemistry student having noise problems with his dual CPU computer. It was way back when an AMD K6-2 @ 500 Mhz was about the best money could buy and the 60mm fans were whistling at some 6000+ rpm. The discussion went back and forth about getting the cooling out of his one-room apartment, the wildest idea being putting the compressor of a freezer on the balcony, tubes coming through the wall into the computer. The problem was that they guy had difficulties to sleep with the computer screaming beside his bed, doing math related to his studies three days in a row for one single calculation!

Did you tell him that 2+2 still equals 4?  :devil

No, I didn't know much about computers then, just hanging around in the shop to sniff the bitsy atmosphere. I got a feeling that he had more than a couple of variables in his equations, my interests being more on the profit percentage calculations. Probably he also knew and could prove that 2+2 doesn't always equal 4 (http://virgil.azwestern.edu/~dag/lol/TwoPlusTwo.html). Actually, it more often equals something else (http://www.askamathematician.com/2009/10/q-how-can-we-prove-that-22-always-equals-4/)...

 :lol 2 apples plus 2 apples is always 4 apples, unless your talking about apple pies or apple sauce. Maybe my question should have been, "Why does 2 + 2 = 4"? :devil

Did you forget the guy was a chemist? 2 apples + 2 apples is one glass of apple cider, ergo 2+2=1. But one small glass of cider is only a tasting sample, after which there'd be nothing left because you had already run out of apples, thus 2+2=0.

On overclicking.net you can see somw weird set ups and awesome builds. One that stands out is a water cooling setup where the guy tapped into his home water supply and cooled his rig this way.

I remember when some custom computer manufacturers were offering 'oil bath' cooling systems.  That idea never seemed to take off though.

I remember the Tom's Hardware crew building one for some event. The idea is cool (pun intended) but think about carrying one to a lan party, not to mention the mess if someone accidentally pushes it off the table in an excited state of mind. Slippery, I'd say.

 :rofl :rofl :rofl how this thread has evolved to a discussion about an equation! As I said, I used to be more into percentage calculations, so I'm not the best person to argue about how much 2+2 actually is. As a side note, though, 2 can be divided to 1+1, but 1+1 definitely doesn't always make 2. If 1+1 were always 2, this computer I'm typing this on wouldn't work at all!

X Ray generators are 'oil bath' cooling, we have to drill them before scrapping :old:

Bizman is awesome as well

Isn't it weird that when you think computers in oil bath, the image is 'cool' but when you think of a babe in oil bath it becomes somehow 'hot'  :banana:
