Using a House's Concrete Foundation To Cool a PC

Posted by timothy on from the thinking-deeper-than-built-in-cable-drops dept.

Agg writes "Well the slab gets poured on Wednesday so I thought I would sink 6 meters of copper pipe in the slab so that I can run my water loop through it when the house is finished. I hope to have water year round at about 16deg [about 61F]. No need for radiators or fans with chilled water coming straight out of the slab!"

    TFS is barely a blurb, while TF"A" is a post on a forum?
    How the hell did this get deemed front page worthy?
    Plus anyway, what about freezing? First freeze, crack go the pipes -- which are embedded in concerte. This is an idiotic idea, unless you live in Hawaii...

    The guy who posted TFA is not real bright. He had an extremely good idea, planned it out, and executed it magnificently. Then, he screwed it all up by posting about it on Slashdot. Self proclaimed architects and engineers have shot the idea full of holes. *sigh*

    Wait! It's me who isn't real bright!! TFA was just trolling to see how many idiots would answer!!!

    Damn, this gets confusing......
