I saw the OP and nearly ran off and took a picture of the Porcelain

Only if you've got a water cooled processor. Do IBM still make those?

Why ruin linux by using KDE? We need to bring the real linux desktops back. Archlinux+Openbox Window Manager FTW!




Currently using my new build, Intel C2D E8400 @ 3.8ghz, 8gb RAM, GeForce GTX260 896mb Video Card, Antec 300 case, 750gb Hard Drives x5.

C'mon. . .KDE's come a long way. I do miss enlightenment though.

I assumed it was a thread about posting pictures of toilets. When I'm on mty throne(my toilet) I get a lot of reading done.

An alternative to a water cooled processor is to immerse the mother board, CPU and most of the electronics in oil. I think that extra virgin olive oil would do for a south Italy healthy PC which would have a low risk of heart disease. However the disk drives and power pack may not like the oil treatment. I recall that in one electronics magazine (Elektor Electronics) they once showed some results of such an experiment, but I would not try it at home.

I do not think that olive oil is particular good here, because it oxides. Any cheap soya oil would be better or any other technical oil.

The constructions I saw with the electronic parts in oil have in point of view a weak point: The HDD is not sufficiently cooled, often even mounted on a piece of wood. So it would be a good idea to place the HDD outside the oil, but to provide via some metal a path for the head produced by the HDD to find its way into the oil.

Now you think of it Olive oil will go rancid, perhapes car engine oil will be better to use.

I think that the problem with the discs is that the oil will foul the moving parts. An other idea would be to place a high voltage electronic device in a fish tank filled with nitrobenzene. Put a large sheet of polaroid on the back, and another on the front.

Make the polaroids arranged such that they cut out all the light, put a strong light source at the back. Switch on the device and you might be able to see the electric fields, this is due to the Kerr effect. I think that the idea was first suggested in New Scientist by "Daedalus".

(no it is not really a mac, it is home built)

This is for movies and games...



And this is for viewing web pages...



Mmmm functional. The fan is necessary, its a summer heatwave here.

Core 2 Duo E8400 with 4GB of RAM
1TB of storage (still haven't used more than 300GB)
digital tv tuner so I can watch free-to-air HDTV
ATI Radeon HD 4870
FullHD 24inch HP monitor with natural colours (H-IPS panel), for blu-ray movies

custom built by me

Now that's a new way of using a wide screen monitor!

xD.
BTW, the one which you use for viewing webpages, did it come with it's own software to make it be like that, or did you configure it your self?
Just wondering because I've not seen any feature like that in Vista's CP, only only some Linux distros xD.
