LONG POST!! - Cruncher Farm mass WC project

[njkid32]

Carl, iirc he said it was from a Chevy Astro Van..

Bob, that farm boy pic is classic!

[Patriote]

ROFL! Thats Xtreme Bob! Nicely done!

Crunchers FTW!

[TTmodder]

Xtreme farmer "laughs". If many smaller rads are expensive. steal one from the wifes kiddymobile

[123bob]

EDIT: Oh... that watercap open in the rad, is it because the feed and the return for the upper machines... the rad points are submerged, so no back air to replace the possible displacement? Damn... archimedes died a long time.

Ten points to Riptide!! Note that the loop hoses all dip below the rad cap level. Nothing like ancient engineering....

Ow yeah forgot about that. BTW are you going to build a cover for over the box?

Edit: One question tho, wasn't it easier if u used the 1u version of the block? Well maybe not because the hoses needed to go out on the top of the casings.

I'm going to build it onto a standard "centerweight" rack shelf. It's the same as the shelf with my monitor and keyboard in the pic. It will go on rack#2, which I picked up Saturday. I'm likely going to go with an expanded metal cage around the unit. I'll also make a slot to hold a 20" by 20" furnace filter in front of the rad.

The whole mess is going to move out to the garage as soon as I'm done running dedicated circuits. Good thing I put in the biggest service box I could find when I re-did the service panel in the house. I've got 13 empty breaker slots.

I think you're talking about the GPU version of the fuzion, right? I really didn't think about using those. I used these blocks for the purpose of routing tubes through the top back edge of the cases. That way they could be pulled out and separated from the case without disconnecting the loop. I'll have to look at the other blocks for rack#2. They might work better...

Need to get the misses in the picture like the classic ma and pa farmer pic but with some high tech redneck gear

For now, I'd have to rent-a-misses. My ex decided she wanted her freedom. She got it. I have custody of my daughter/lab assistant....Now you know why I can put this cr*p all over the family room.

Regards,
Bob

Bob:
Thanks for the kind words..I think!
That AARP thread brought some excellent people into WCG including yourself.
It also allowed me to meet you,Sigfever,HardH20,IanY,and some others.
That was MY pleasure as I've always beleived it is the people here that are the great resource of XS and when we work together there is no goal that we can't accomplish.

Excellent job there my friend and well thought out.
You showed with this the one kind of thinking I see so much of on Xs:
Outside the box..
You took a situation and created your own way of making it work.
Very nicely done.

Thanks Dave. It has been a pleasure working with you and the rest of the team. You folks are something else. It makes it easy to bend my Visa for the effort!!

[Duh]

man thats is very very nice.. congratz

After that, you sure it's just a bend and not a fracture?

Get some more hamsters and you will need a silage fork to feed them

Dammit, so many replies since this morning.
For those that aren't in the know, a silage fork is almost twice as wide with more tines and a sharper deflection. It has a deeper scoop and a shorter handle.

Good to see someone who knows their forks....

The number 76134 fork here would be just the ticket. When rack #2 is completed, I may have to build a silo to store the feed....

Apparently I trained as a physicist I just remember the booze and the women.... barely.

Somewhere along the line I turned into a dispenser of Corporate pain in the guise of an Accountant.

Carl... I took over from my boss who made a quick exit shall we say. I only joined the comany the last few months.

YOU wouldn't believe how true your first statement is. We're talking SERIOUS prior period adjustments.

Our parent thinks we are all a pack of lunatics.

[Emerica]

Talk about dedication... Congrats on the project!

Hey Bob, my gf saw me looking @ this thread, and I commented to her, since she refers to my PC as my "wife" that I said to her at least I am not "THIS" bad....................... her reponse........

"OH HELL NO!, OH HELL NO!.................................." and walked away shaking her head................

Better get her started off right.....I'd run right out and get your first rack. Just the rack, nothing else. Set it up in the living room and let her get used to it. Then parts can start slooowly appearing in it.....Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket....

When my girlfriend used to come visit in my formative crunching year(s), she had a quick mental note what machines were around the place.

I'd often get... "hmm is that another computer " .. eh no.. thast just a ...

Excellent work, a true engineering masterpiece.

When we get our own place I will have my COMPUTER room.............it will be all MINE............to do with as I please, she will have the rest of the house.

Hell if I have to I will have a bed, fridge, even own AC unit.

All in the name of PCs!!!!!.

You have to know these things so you don't get ed at for using the wrong fork and contaminating feed.
This fork with sh*it on it is on this rack for a reason, use it to bed stalls and gutters, use this wider one for throwing hay out to the older calves, use the broom to push up hay and silage, use this fork for feeding silage.
Now, I'm sure ddtung knows what kind of silo to use for feeding hamsters. If we're talking dry feed a bin might be a better idea. I'm not sure if these hamster steroids are a powder or some type of liquid. For damp hamster food a silo would be the way to go. For pellets a bin would be better. Of course how many bushels the hamsters can go through would need to be considered as well to decide which would be more economically viable.
Recap:
Pellets
super special hamster food with water and electrolytes

after you recovered from this inversion, you can purchase some kick as solar panles and you will be settled
