Using a House's Concrete Foundation To Cool a PC
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!"
Without proper thermal throttling, your roof could come off, even with a passive heatsink.
I think Antec makes a two-story-high fan that might work perfectly in such a situation, but the neighbors might be bothered by the LEDs.
I got a bunch of raised eyebrows when I had two four-gang electrical outlets (one from either leg of the house power) and an exhaust vent fan installed in one of my closets when we built our house. I wanted it for a server farm but couldn't convince anyone that I wasn't going to be farming something else.
The cost of that cleanup, of course, will be borne by taxpayers, not industry.
Well, your habit of using the acronym "THC/IP" did rather give the game away....
Or sell the house to Ted Stevens and tell him that's where his Internet comes out of.

I imagine a cartoon-like scenario, of a curious party feeding a flexible snake into one end of the pipe, trying to feel out how far it goes before terminating, only to have it come out the other end and poke them in the butt.
Apparently I'm 5 years old.
You've obviously never been lied to about birth control then.
