Computer Room Hot?

Posted by timothy on from the temperature-control dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "Here is a cool PC ventilation product I ran across. Like many faithful on here, I have multiple computers in a small room which really heat up the place. My office is a good eight degrees warmer than the rest of the house This product called R.A.C.H.A.L (Reduce Annoying Computer Heat And Loudness) vents computer exhaust into the wall, not the room. Might cut down on the electricity bills during those hot months.." Another approach: An anonymous reader writes "If your 'puter is getting to loud, you might want to consider some silent cooling. And the gang at OverclockersClub has just that. A three page review of the Zalman VGA Heatpipe Cooler. This thing is pretty nice looking, and with no power, no noise, what else could a guy ask for? Check out the review here. How come more companies don't do the "silent" thing?" Borked link fixed.

    Wouldn't R.A.C.H.A.L (Reduce Annoying Computer Heat And Loudness) really be RACHL, such as the United States of America isn't USOA? Aren't Ands, ors, thes, all not supposed to be used in an acronym?

    Is it just me, or does any computer really make that much noise?

    If your 'puter is getting to loud, you might want to ...

    I'm assuming this person meant TOO LOUD. Unless, maybe, there's a little noise guage on the case with a little arrow indicator, and it has gotten to "Loud". But I doubt that.

    Anyway, here again are some samples of the correct usage of To, Too, and Two.

    1. I am going TO the grocery store.

    2. Not only is Elvis dead, but he's stinky TOO!

    3. Between the numbers one and three is TWO.

    Unless English is not your first language, you should have mastered this by now.

    Thank You

    The NEC PowerMate eco runs cool and quiet because it requires no fan. It's powered by a Transmeta Crusoe 5800, speed 900 MHz (with an upgrade coming soon, when Transmeta sells its Astro CPU, in about 6 months). The NEC PowerMate eco contains no dangerous materials in its body and can be disposed easily.
