  1. Re:Where is the code? on CIA Software Developer Goes Open Source, Instead · · Score: 1

    This reminds me of some work on the Identification -- Friend or Foe box of an F101.

    My cpu is in a ceramic case.
    Make a frustrated pyramid with the bottom a heat sink to press against the cpu, and the top closed enough to stop spills but not gas tight. Add styrofoam on the sides to stop frost.
    No pump is needed IMO.
    If having solvent near plastic is not acceptable, then apply cooling to recirculating air. The motor and bearings of the fan can be external to the airflow.
    An experiment carried out without attached computer, and then with a heat source to see how it behaves would be a good idea.

    The English don't have Counts, they have Earls. The wife of an Earl is a Countess, go figure. If they made their Earls Counts, then there would not be a shortage in the Counts.
