all on a 15 amp breaker

Here is an example of somebody who has gone too far cooling his computer

When we got this room done in the house 2 yrs ago (like a recroom type thing) the electrician gave me a funny look too when I requested to have one outlet in the room wired seperately than all the others, xD. And yes, my PC is on that one :D.

You know you've gone too far cooling your computer when you have to wear a winter jacket and snowpants while playin CS:S.

[Dumo]

When you fell asleep when benching with DI....And then when you wake up hours later, your cpu is still alive eventhough mobo flooded with water from condensation:D

[Gray Mole]

When you've been benching so long that the LN2 stops boiling because your entire room has finally hit -196c

When you go to a Lan party and they give you your own breaker to make sure you don't kill the power for everyone else with your cooling system

Cheers

When you line the inside of your windows with black garbage bags so no sunlight comes in and make your room and computer hotter:)

[WeStSiDePLaYa]

ive personally had to buy louder speakers to hear over my fans. and my dog avoids my room because of the high pitched fan noise, and because its always at least 5-10C hotter than the rest of the house because of the heatdump.

[Anemone]

When you buy a more powerful central AC system than the contractor says you need with quad ducts to your testing room of choice...

[Zardokk]

Speaking of buying AC...

When you buy a powerful window air conditioner not because your house/room is too hot, but because you want the compressor for a custom cooling setup.
