Xtreme Ghetto!

[poolatka]

i live about a mile from the beach, and i always noticed that i get a nice breeze from that direction that comes straight into my window, so, i decided to take the ghetto approach of taking advantage of that:

there it is! the breeze brings my case temps from 36c to 29c, with only and old amd processor fan sucking in the air mounted inside my case.

next week, when i get some more cash, imma buy a 120 mm fan, a grill, and a filter to keep out dust.

Nice result, but darn ugly.

I had to show you this. It actually did lower temps 3-4c. http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/2079/picture0427go.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

I was just thinking the same thing:nono:

[BSill]

wasnt there a guy that ran his copper piping through his backyard as well?

[coop]

Yes, I saw that. For his watercooling.

[Hell-Fire]

What ya need is a well if your back yard...pull water from that = good temps.

This is XtremeSystems, not XtremelyPurtySystems. Its all about the performance boys and girls.

I changed my room and also put the computers near the window. My 3800 X2 runs at 37oC folding :D

Its droped the case temps around 15oC altho it its blooming cold outside. My ram at 3.3v is 14oC when it use to be 30oC.:D
