Hope that didn't confuse anyone*. Genuine error, I hadn't forgotten about Goldmember, the wrong number came out was all. *like the fact that solid-state memory ('carts') will once again be the standard for games consoles, confuses some people. - zupakomputer Thu, 15 Nov 2007 10:24:20 +0100 http://ecogeek.org/computing-and-gadgets/1140#comment-7195 Or for that matter, why keep kidding-on that the whole environmental / econmic / etc mess doesn't only exist because certain persons abused time-travel. Cause we know that's what happened. - zupakomputer Thu, 15 Nov 2007 08:48:37 +0100 http://ecogeek.org/computing-and-gadgets/1140#comment-7188 Why would you want to invest BILLIONS when you could invest...MILLIONS! - Dr. Evil Thu, 15 Nov 2007 05:30:46 +0100 http://ecogeek.org/computing-and-gadgets/1140#comment-7185 I'm looking at building an aircooled rig myself as my budget (nor available space..) won't stretch to watercooling right now - but what's mentioned above as to de-ionised & treated water - that's all already very available. Countless online shops sell those kits and spares for the home enthusiast. There's even plenty of pre-built systems on sale, mostly gaming rigs, that are entirely water-cooled. Be impressed, be very impressed. This is not computing, this is art. etc - zupakomputer Thu, 15 Nov 2007 05:13:51 +0100 http://ecogeek.org/computing-and-gadgets/1140#comment-7183 A better way to manage the heat loads is with a vaporizable dielectric fluid and take advantage of the heat of vaporization to move the heat loads off the server. Water in this type of application has many complications, it has to be deionized, it has to be treated to prevent organic growth, it requires large pumps & complex plumbing.
