MMM Potatoes

But they will not be good for cooing you system so do not use them for that though I wonder since you are over clocking if you could bake your potatoes???????????

I like my car to look good and run fast here is my favorite car.

So, a friend of mine just brought up a good point about this situation, of which I elaborated on.

First, after mentioning this to a few of my friends, one of whom has a Mac, told me to get a Mac, then other things about consumerism followed. :P

Then the following occurred: "If the radiator in my Jaguar breaks, that doesn't mean I go get a Toyota."

So, the elaborate on that argument here: "If the radiator in my Jaguar breaks, that doesn't mean I go by an old air cooled Volkswagen, regardless the dependability."

air cooling in cars is less dependable than liquid cooling, which is the opposite of in personal computers.

Anyway if you cant salvage it, they made a new rad that is over 480mm long. It would probably keep fermis from burning down your house.

so after deciding on this computer to go all air cooled. I have 2 120mm fans on my heatsink for my cpu and 2 other 120mm fans in the case. There are others out there with more if i recall but when you've got 4x 120mm fans, 2 going 2400rpms the other 2 i think are 1600. It is quite loud. I'd love to be able to keep a low rpm fan on a radiator on my next build... whenever that is

I'm really being pretty lazy about this, I might not get around to it until like something later this week, when ever that happens to be. :D

Do you have a friend that owns a compressor? Father? Relative? That might work. Or it might just blow a hole in the radiator!


Side note: For the car modding discussion. Some people like to look original in a sea of the same blah cars. Granted some do really really ugly things to their cars there are some out there that do very tasteful things to their cars. Therefore making them look original and stand out from the crowd. I for one own a lightly modded Corolla. I love it when people turn their heads and look at my car. Some people even ask me what it is. It's a hobby. Some people get it and some people don't.
