Here it is!

^Drives are with ports!

^uber PSU vent

^Ultra Blow © holes

Ok Andrew, your turn!

Wow...

Just... wow... nerm was right, you do need a girl.

I know... This thing must be a chick magnet though! Nearly solid foam = ladies likes

uh...what OC16 said. wow. It that what happens when StayPuft Marshmallow Man explodes?

I will admit, I REALLY need a girl. Anyway, Andrew gave me this idea.

Messiest.. case. EVER!!

You should post this on digg, i'll SOO DIGG it!

If you look closely at the pics, you'll notice a tub of dry foam chunks. Thats what you have to do to find the dang BIOS battery! lol ... never used digg...will go and check it out.

this is the digg page... http://digg.com/mods/Expanding_Foam_Case_OCC/who ... how do i ...like embed it?

My god.
Umm.. good job?
Not too sure about what girls you'll attract with that.. pile of.. goop..

Obyiously, only the most sexy and most girly.

So i assume this thing is on water cooling? If not it would get to hot me thinks no? Yeh get a girl, your life changes... trust me.

Didnt you see my ULTRA BLOW © BLOW HOLE? Apparently you don't know how the foam case work. You see, i have created an air tunnel. It is actually probobly cooler than most computers and a hell of a lot less noisy

You should get one http://www.cafepress.com/cdu.2092069
but change it to 'Foam'

"chicks dig foam".... That'd be hilarious!

I do not understand in Andrews thread you stated you had built one of these before and should you post the picture, he said yea so now you made one?

Without pictures of it attached to a monitor and running it's just a useless pile of goop to me

No, now i took pics. But my text may have been misleading. But be for the "should i post mine" post, i had made this.

thats... a big pile of foam. wow. you could sand it somehow and actually make it look smooth or sand it into a shape or something. Unless you're going for the exploding marshmallow look.

Hmmm... I like that.... a nice dome would be pretty cool...thanks

I hope you never have that thing in plain sight in your house. All of your guests will be bewildered and wont even want to know what the hell is sitting in the corner

Thats the point...
You want people to be like "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot", dude what the hell is that giant pile of crap?

But anyways, mine should theoretically possibly kinda look a little better since I've been planning mine for so flipping long...

I think I saw a post in late 06 or early 07 (before i joined) and thats when i started planning... but it really only takes about 20 minutes.

You. have. way. too. much. time. My god... That's either sheer brilliance or sheer lunacy... or both. Oh, and you have no idea how much you truly need a girl.

all i can say is WOW

atleast put 2 giant grahm crackers on top and bottom and alot of chocolate on it so it looks like a smore. that or add an entrane to the front of it to make it look like an igloo

but i'm all outta foam lol

So, does it actually run or not?

well duh. " Hey guys i covered some useless crap with foam " wouldn't sound very good. I am going to use it for fahmon when i add to my farm (so far only one is up but i have like 5)

Not really "well duh", I was just asking anyway, and you didn't post any pictures of it running so I didn't assume it could.

What are the specs of the foam covered creation and have you had it running for long periods? temps?

Questions, questions

Well, it has a pentium III processor (i'm guessing 400-500 MHz) and a pentium II board (the bios thinks its running a pentium II) its got 128 - 256 ram i think, 10 gb (was be noisy as hell) now quite HDD. PCI video, ISA Audio, ISA or PCI nic (i forgot and now its been foamed)

Wow hahahah! how good is the cooling Lol

^^ Alot better than the adverage PC. The foam allowed me to make a custom CPU duct, using two fans which allowed the processor to instantly receive the fresh air and dump the old air. On the other hand, lets say you don't make ducts, your screwed.

you've managed to get good airflow across the cpu... howver you INSULATED other components.



besides the fact that it resembles a giant seagull turd.

Hmmm... words fail me

* shakes head *

The original "FOAM PC" was done with a pentium classic, and you know how much heat the components of that era put out...

I certainly wouldn't use it 24/7 to fold, mine is gonna be just a novelty PC.
Only turned on when people ask what it is...

And mike, the only components In the foam MIGHT be a few capacitors. All heat generators have a custom duct. The main thing the foam dose is dampen noise. It dose not insulate very much heat at all. If you guys want, I can run it nonstop for a week on SUPER PI 32M.

Place it under your bed and cover it with a very fibrous cotton blanket while doing so...

But then the ULTRA ® BLOW © HOLES™ wouldn't be able to preform as well.

You can't run SuperPi indefinitely... maybe the processor you are using runs at 8 MHz and would actually take a week to complete the 32 million digits... otherwise, it would just stop...

Stress Prime 2004 or OCCT would be good apps to use for a week of maximum cpu load.

^ I can do what I want to. Run your stuff on your comps

EDIT: Someone delete this. I'm just having too much fun watching this guy.

having fun watching who?
nrg thinks i'm such a noob, good for him but i don't want his tips.

You tell him coolcat! Who cares if what you're talking about isn't possible? No, sir! That won't stop you!

Don't let nrg push that SP2004 and OCCT stuff on you! No, no! How dare he suggest a reasonable and logical alternative to allow you to do what you're claiming? Who does he think he is? Stick to your guns, bro!

BTW, if you have to ask a question like "watching who?", it's probably you.

well thanks ver! Glad that someone understands! You should see the PM nrg sent me anyway, i can make super pi run for a week.

Is this a joke?

You do realize that my previous post was coded, right? Everything that's in white was sarcasm.

yes, so was that line i printed in white. The part you quoted.

I guess you could, but it would be a lot harder than just clicking "on" in OCCT, that's all I was saying

You don't want to talk to me anyway. But thanks.

I think it's time you relax a little, it seems like most of your posts are either turning into an argument or extremely pushy lately. I'm no mod but it is starting to get a little old

And by the way NRG is one our most helpful members on OCC and I highly doubt he is trying to say you are a noob just because he offers some tips or advice.

^well we had a "private problem" can't talk about it here anyway
