do i have room for an oscillating fan?

i don't think i do. but it sure as hell sounds like i got one in my case. i don't know what/which fan it is, i stuck my head in there while it's running and can't figure it out. i'm guessing it shouldn't be anything a hammer can't fix. under "computer operating apparel" i'm going to have to add earplugs to the list.

[insert philosophical statement here]

awwww

while running CAREFULLY unplug the fans inside your case. with the exception of the cpu fan unless your feelin lucky/brave!

i can unplug my fans in my case and make it queit but the temp inside the case goes to like 31 c and hte chip goes to like 48 c

that is under full load i have had my system runnign full load ofr like the last 3 day nonstop

"I've 14 fans inside my case" "one of them is a 7000 rpm fan"




Jesus.

my freind had 11 fans and 3 of them where deltas

<font color=red>Gasoline + Fire</font color=red><font color=green> Can be a lot of fun</font color=green>

I thought my system was a little overboard with five fans.

One for the PSU.
One intake.
One exhaust.
One for the CPU.
And One for the GPU.

And the system is very loud. When it's off I actually miss the noise it makes. Cause everything else is so quite it gives me an erie feeling.

System temperature averages 30°C and CPU temperature averages 32°C.

<font color=red><i>Happy Canuck</i>!</font color=red> ' '

Close, this where they really are:

3 on the PSU (I've got 2 PSU's and one is a EnerMax dual-fan).
1 for the Northbridge
1 for the CPU (7000 rpm)
1 for the GPU
1 on the bottom blowing in
2 on the front blowing in
1 at the side blowing in
1 at the back blowing out
1 in the top blowing out
2 fans at the side of my 4 HDs.

Makes a total of 14 fans.

When I have vacation I will reinstall my watercooling, and the 7000 rpm fan will be removed from the case. A 120mm fan outside my case will cool my radiator. Also if the CPU air heatsink is removed I will make all my other fans temp-controlled near 20 C (now it is +/- 23 C and if I shut them down it will rise to 25-30 C), I already have a DigiDoc5 installed.

And ofcourse I have installed passive heatsinks on all big chips and heatsink on my mem, you're a OC'er or you are not .

My case has so many fans that it hovers above the ground .

no wonder your case hovers over the ground! I guess some more will definitely help it to rise higher. they say its very coool in te stratosphere and above that. maybe if your fans take your case up there, you wont need any of them to run. but dont switch them off just yet, your case will fall off to the ground like a rock. keep exactly 7 of them running so it will continue to hover at a fixed level!

<font color=red>Nothing is fool-proof. Fools are Ingenious!</font color=red>

Just wait till its in outherspace, then it really will be cool (-273 C). I only need a couple of solar pannels and some wireless equipment to run it that high, although changing CDs will give problems. I will own the 'First PC that is launched into space'...

I hope the distence between my house and my space PC isn't that large that the distence creates lagg in the datastreams.

You can probably get around the lag through a terminal PC that caches the data in RAM. You don't need a superfast processor or even a hard drive as most of the processing and the data storage will be done by the space PC. You can have a slower Duron in the terminal PC and 1GB of RAM for cache. Then you won't need any noisy fans on the terminal but you'll have the power of the space PC.

The main problem I see is signal degradation. How are you going amplify the signal to the space PC with data loss or corruption? That's a hard one. I'm not a computer enginneer or physicist (YET!), so I can offer no suggestions to combat signal degradation! Anyone here with a degree in physics and/or computer engineering?

But that will cost to much, and I like my own PC standing under my desk (it looks impressive).
You could use a giant radiotelescoop and tweak it a little that it sends the data correctly to the Space PC, but I don't think such a thing will fit in my backyard, and the Space PC also needs a large receiver and transmitter.

A other important point is that my case has to be much thicker to defend my PC for radiation and small particles floating around the Earth.

Hehe, you are looking at a multi-million dollar project already.

wow
this thread is really screwed!

and pebbles of spacejunk would be able to penetrate your computer like a redhot ballbearing thru butter.

and i suspect that if its in orbit it will be bombarded with ion strams from the sun.. MASSIVE signal corruption.
u need specially constructed electronics and lots of shielding...
even then, every time we have sunspot activity there is a chance it would get hit and fry.

i really reccomend u leave it beside your desk.

i got an idea
saw a server like case over at the coolermaster homepage.
its got 300mm fans in it! *grins*
u could install 4 of those on one side of yoru case... imagine the cooling!
crank em up to full and watch your case drag itself sideways

Well, actually I did calculate it! Light travels at 299,792,458 m/sec so it would (36,000,000/299,792,458) x 2 for to and fro travel that gives you 0.240166148542669475694415234421941 seconds but thats approximate since you have to take into account the changing refractive index of the medium air (it gets thinner as we go higher) and the latencies of the transmitter and receiver equipment and the tranceiver on the space PC and then the latency of Windows when it gets a interrupt from the network card and it starts reading that in and when it finally delivers it to the application. its pretty too much, so at the end of the day (in a manner of speaking, you wont need to wait for that long :-)) it might take about 1.0025 times that figure which is 0.240766563914026149383651272507996 which is still aprroximate but pretty good appriximation.

what did ya think, I closed my eyes and banged on the numeric keypad???

that would include that 8000rpm ultra high powered delta right wouldnt it???

They numbers are all correct, do you know them out of memery or did you have to find them in a book or something?

yes i apologize for all my posts thus far.

do you know them out of memery or did you have to find them in a book or something?

>> well, I have them all in my memory, some 8~10 physical constants, the Pi upto 7 or 8 digits of precision. Of course I first read them in some book, but thats a few years ago. I wanted to be a Astrophysics student, but fate made me an Electrical Engineer and now I landed up playing with computers! Interesting isnt it, you aspire for one thing, learn another and end up working on still another! Thats life!

I often hang out on the terrace with my Telescope for late nights, when I am not pounding my keyboard writing utilities and programs. Right now I am working on a THGC client, any ideas? Something else than it being a Outlook clone?
