  1. Efficiency by 3ryon · · Score: 5, Interesting

    If I could just figure out a way to let it dump it's excess heat into the cold water line that feeds my water heater, the case would pay for itself! But why stop there? We could run pipes all over the house (to the refridgerator, the Air Conditioner, etc) and dump their excess heat into the cold water line...we may not need a hot water heater at all.

    Ok, it's a loony idea, but I have to find some reason to justify a water cooled PC to my wife.

  2. More and larger fans for a quiet PC? by chrysalis · · Score: 3, Interesting
    Mmmm... Let's see :
    • A small fan turning very fast are noisy. Most PCs have a couple of them.
    • A small fan turning slowly is quiet but inefficient.
    • A large fan turning slowly is quiet and efficient.

    So, what about having boxes with two slow, but very large fans (one on a side to inject air, another one on the other side to reject it)? It would probably be cheap and quiet.
