I am running two overclocked XFX GeForce 7800GTXs and an Athlon 4400+ with the reserator. The cooling is fine for this, and after several hours of heavy load on a warm day the CPU hits 46C, the primary GPU tops out at about 50C and the secondary GPU is always 4-5C cooler. The problem I have is that the RAM still needs a fan blowing over it, otherwise the display locks up about 20 seconds in to a game. I have one fan at the end blowing over both GPU's RAM and it is quieter than the original fans for the GPUs. Of course, fitting this fan in an unusual place was quite tricky.
On a normal day I get no more than 38C on anything.
The most interesting thing is remembering to turn on the watercooling (darn good job they have overheat protection these days), and also to turn it off (it really is that quiet you don't notice it is on).
I don't know if this was already pointed out, but the author seems to be slightly unifomed about the properties of a vacuum. Since NASA has stated it would take 10-20 years at THEIR current level of funding to put a man on the moon again (let alone colonise), I wonder how the lifeboat will be ready in less than 18 years.
Ah well, the quote from the lifeboat FAQ (main, not supplimentary) shows what I am talking about (emphasis mine).
Why not hide in a deep sea colony?
This would have all the disadvantages of a bunker/cave.
Also, the one single atmosphere of pressure in outer space seems inconsequential compared to the hundreds of atmospheres of pressure under the sea.
The predictions of Eric sound similar to another organisation... your favourite door-to-door salespeople. (And the History of the end of the world). Found on Google.
