gotdamojo06 Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 I know, that thing has got to warm the house Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazwegion Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 (edited) I know, that thing has got to warm the house That it would! The PC lab is situated @ the back section of our house & is the coldest room of all, but with the 6 PC's running & the Cyrix powered firewall/router it's now the warmest (nice in winter) I can see where putting all the farm work horses into one stable would be efficient use of space, but with little fingers cases are better protection for PC components IMHO Edited November 21, 2006 by tazwegion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotdamojo06 Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 yea, i know what you mean, but still, if they are just junk pieces you have laying in your room that arnt going to be used and if you dont want to spend money on cases, its a good solution Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazwegion Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 (edited) Yeah I suppose you could always lock the improvised multi-mobo case's door, but having the flexibility to quickly use those system components for something else is very handy Generally speaking... wood enclosures absorb & radiate heat, so with 3 ~ 4 platforms installed the components @ the top of the case would be exposed to relatively high ambient case temps eh? this would equate into a higher temp for the CPU (unless you use individual air intake ducting) EDIT: I figure I'll stick a picture of my cluttered workstation here too Bottom left XP1600+ & XP1800+ systems, top centre 3700+ Sandy' followed by stacked PIII-800 & XP 2100+ Edited November 22, 2006 by tazwegion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
road-runner Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 I know my second floor stays warm, I have 12 machines up there 4 in 3 different rooms with the ceiling fan on in each room. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 lol, my room is cold as always (windows ALWAYS open unless it snows/rains), but I had a go with my 3700+ without the fan on the SI-120... turned out to be one of the stupidest ideas I have had so far, 63C is not a nice core temp!
