PC PARTS

[jamessweet60]

Hi I'm thinking about building a new pc and trying to figure out if pc parts in general give off any harmful radiation. I've never heard of this before but since I"m thinking of incorporating fish into my idea i thought i should check it out.

ALL HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED

Fish swimming in your water cooled system!!! THAT WOULD ROCK!

Well common knowledge... Fish cannot live in the particular water you are using to cool your PC, next comes the fact that the fish water cant frequently change in temp. if it does they will go into shock and die. The only fish that could pull ANY of this off s a cheap goldfish. And if you DO try this don't waste money on a fish (or many fish) that cost over ten cents.

Radiation isn't even really a problem, they will most likely die before it would get to them.

that raditation wouldn't hurt a hamster exposed to it for 10 years

ok let me be more specific im building a case and putting it in a tank. i will be using african ciclids. Im in no way shape or form using any coolent/ it in water cooling.

Back to what madrox said is still the problem.

The change in temp will kill the fish. The only way I can see this possible is if the fish are on the very bottom of a full tower then you have fans all blowing air away from the fish.

I also would be worried about the vibrations. It has been a long time since high school biology but I think fish dont like it.

What people will do with too much time on their hands.

I understand it's a hobby and all, but some people spend more time "pimpin' out" their rigs than actually using them.

To the OP, good luck... post some pics when your done... this I have to see before I leave this planet.

nick the specific fish type that i will get for this will have a water temp of about 70-80* and are very hardy fish. (owned em previously) Will have water heater also when pc not on it will keep a relative temp.

but thanks i forgot about vibrations ill go look up on how to due that. But will have to check cause some water filtrations send off vibrations too so will check to see how much vibrations PC will give off.

will due ill put up concept designs too

Are you gonna use Malawian or Tanganikan's? I used to breed Peacock's, white Labs and red & blue Zebra's. Those fish all like huge tanks, though.
