  4. Watercooling advantages... on Considering Watercooling Your PC? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    While most of the poeple using watercooling does so to gain performance (ie overclock) It wasn't why I did it.

    You see, my computer is located inside a closet. While being the quietest computer around, I can dry my clothes with that brand new Prescott 2.8E.

    I needed a way to remove the heat from that closet, So I drilled holes in the walls and installed the pump / radiator in stair room going to the basement.

    I do miss wearing those warm clothes on cold winter days... :(

  5. Re:Why use Water?!? on Considering Watercooling Your PC? · · Score: 1

    The biggest reason not to use Fluorinet is the cost.

    But then, even with the small amount needed for a cooling loop, I'd still use mineral free water.

    Why? Because it's about 20% (can't remember exactly) more efficient than fluorinet. The heat transfer ratio of the 3M product ain't that good.

    What about noise?

    Sure you AC will cool the hell out of that PC (see vapochill products) but that's some noisy stuff.

    Water cooling on the other hand is silent. Mostly since you can put large fan for the radiator. The largest the fan the slower it can run for the same CFM. All this generally meaning a lot less noise.

    1) Waterleaks: The computer will freeze...
    2) Pump failure: The CPU temp will raise gently until your BIOS shutdown the PC by itself
    3) Coolant loss: see #2

    I ran into all those problems.
    ie: Forgetting to turn the pump after installing my PC after a lan. System went WAAAAHHH!! BEEP!!! ... no biggy only annoying!

    True bue, why limit ourself to a blog. Fuel cell are a great way to move away from petrol based energy. I'm sure there is a way to use their technology with renewable sources.

  12. Why am I not surprised. on Halo 2 Available on the Net · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This has been like this for years. For as long as the "scene" exists. Nothing to see here, move along. But frankly, the more intermediate poeple getting their hands on the Gold master before it's heading out to press, the easier it is to leak.

  18. Re:mercury on Testing Products for Web Applications? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I've used Mercury Interactive product for some time 2 years ago. Mainly for load testing our web application.

    The scripting tools are nice.. Recording with a browser. But the best part of that software is being able to script (*read program here*) using a "pseudo" C language.

    The library at your disposal are awesome. You can post random data, or data from a include file. And then compare every value received from your post.

    You can throw transaction failure and log.

    Doing so will even enable you to stress test it. Let's say you build one script checking every function of your web app. Then add some randomize for value, login, password, etc....

    Then put 100 clients doing those things at the same time.

    The report generator is neat and easy to read.

    There are many ways to test your application from DCOM, SOCKET and HTTP requests.

    Checkout loadrunner from mercury interactive.

    Those software will probably give you all you need and maybe too much some time. Learning curve is steep but worth every bit of it.
