did somebody say AC?

that is an 8000 BTU AC unit.

using it allows me to run my E3110 at 4.9 GHZ.

that is almost frost on the ductwork.

be sure you have the PC as the highest thing in the loop to avoid condensation.

it will also tempt you to use insane votages on your CPU, care is advised with this practice... :lol:

it is because of the @#$%$%^#@##$ Cockatiels...

you can see their cage in the 1st picture.

i love them but they are surely noisy and cause more dust than you could imagine.

nothing that a little compressed air thru the PC from time to time won't cure... :lol:

Look what you guys made me go dig out of my PC junk drawer! :lol

 

My fully modded AIW 9800pro - complete with years of dust:

The custom backing plate I made to hold that huge heatsink. Plastic standoffs kept it off the card...and where the heck did the rest of my RAMsinks end up?!?! :lol:

...and here is my plexi ram cooling tunnel I made. Kept my 2.8v rated ram at 3.1v for 24/7 use and benched em at 3.2v!!!!

I can't find the pics of the ductwork I had to the AC unit near my PC, but it was kind of similar to rehits.
