i need this for know p5w64 ws pro whet all modes x6800 or xq6700
4 8800gtx xfx
and many super sub 0
and go wr for benc.
what kind of PSU is this one?
i think "extreme" is an understatement :)
I think I just got myself a new project :D
a guy in my city has a uglish case as he doesn't have tons and tons of cash to spend but his water loop is copper piping thats nice and polished with copper joints and such -- his wiring is the same thing basically looks space tech
if you touch the copper tubes will your face turn into a light bulb?
we have already established that human skin has too great of resistance for electricity to travel through it (reason insulation around wires works)Quote:

yeah but just one AMP across the heart = DeathQuote:

specially since your tounge is so close to your brain
but people can get shocked by them else where and not die correct?
have you ever unplugged somthing from the wall? if the answer is yes explain why your still talking to us here on the forums. For that matter why does your house have electricity? why doesnt the electricity just go straight from the power line through the pole down to the ground.Quote:

That is extremely nice and crazy.
I don't understand how this is xtremesystems and more than half of us aren't understanding electricity. I thought it was well established in high school (middle school even) about things like this. You can touch it you'll be fine. You can wet your hands and touch it you'll be fine. You can lick it you'll be fine. If you lick both the 12v and the ground, it'll be fun kind of
Have none of you licked 9volt batteries?
What about have any of you messed with cable modems? The transmission through those can be ~48V or so AC. Hold the bottom with one hand and the coax cable with the other. Go against friends and see who can hold it the longest. See who ends up with bloody hands
Being an electronics tech I think it's so cool. The bars are rigid enough and you could grab them and not feel a thing, the voltage is so low. If you did feel anything, it would be maybe a tingle. I imagine the resistance of the pipes is so low that you have very low voltage droop due to wire resistance. Of course, that's akin to the improvement in mileage you get if you wax your car finish. I don't mean to diss this work, because I am of the opinion that it is a great example of being extreme; something to be really proud of.
i agree this wont harm you, but lets not go so far as to say electricity wont harm you, some people get struck by lightning and live, others get electricuted by a wet extension chord and die. (happened in my area)
Fact is its not a good idea to electrocute yourself. I however would not worry to much about having this case as my own.
That is pure sex!
Yeah, if electrons don't find a least impedance path, and it finds you, they will definitely go through you to the ground, if the potential themselves and you is large enough to cause a flow.
The most effective way of making a path through your heart is your 2 hands, 1 straight line across. The shorter the path(closer to your heart), the more deadlier . :D
So yeah, touching those rods won't hurt you because electrons don't want you to be its path to the ground anyway, they found better path which is the rods.

Very impressive and a great break for the norm of hiding wires beind the mobo.
fresh thinking is great to see.
I'd be scared of touching the copper....goodbye me and my computer :(
haha oh yeah using both hands is a lot more fun. i remember when we used to play with those flash camera capacitors (roughly 300-450V), I soldered two leads so people could try using both hands. I thought about making some sort of game (or studying tool) where you choose answers abcd or something by touching. Meanwhile you'd have the other end of the cap wired to your other hand. Choose the wrong answer. BOOM. Only one person thought it was a good idea, saying it'd be very encouraging during studying to quickly learn the right answer. hahQuote:

But his rig is moderatly safe if he isn´t afraid of shorting something and doesn´t plan on licking the rails :D
And everybody should appriciate that he has done something new! Great work!
I have english as a second language so there can be some faulty translations of the tech talk :)
