Yo cheesy, if you advertise it in the BST section, you'll no doubt get some people wanting it. Might take a month or so to pick up, but I reckon people will go for custom length stuff. If you could get some female ends as well as male ends, you could make extensions, which might be popular too.
Oh cheesy, I got a cooler in my FS thread, I'm doing it less than £15. Link to FS thread should be in my sig...

oh yea, there it is!


How is everyone?

i'm on amd...

just nabbed a secondhand new Aircon unit for £70

Its also not one of them cheap shit brands either. Its the homebase (re-branded Amcor?) one that costs anywhere near as much as £260

I wanted to give the lady £60 for it but she said no. £70 for a new unit still aint bad for something thats only been used twice since purchase.

Picking it up tomorrow as my glorified cab driver doesnt wanna drive after coming off shift today. *shakes my fist angrily* Old men and their cars!! If only i could drive...If only....

we got a homebase aircon unit for free, how powerfull is yours

how is it?, we've never used the air conditioner, we just managed to get a really high end one for free (someone we know had 2 (he works in homebase and got massive discount on them) and gave away the spare)

Oh, not the TRUE, I mean the Xigmatek Dark Knight. The Xiggy comes with AMD mounts.

Selling desktop parts sure takes time.
Just got this TV on reserve for tomorrow.
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produ...19667/c_3/3|cat_14419667|LED+TVs|16180235.htm

For £300, there's a couple of 32" Full HD TV's there, not that piddly HD Ready (apparently there's a difference ). They're only LG's, but they look alright.

Cheapest one (£250 without Freeview)

 

[Millennium]

I payed £240 for a full HD 32" tv around christmas. Since then that TV has been down as low as around £180!

I wouldn't spend £300 on a HD-Ready TV. Just sayin Kuro!

Granted mine is some no-name brand but the picture is OK for TV. Sucks as a monitor though, even if it does do 1080p!

 

[scaminatrix]

I got a 42" Full HD Bush from Argos a year ago, best £400 I spent in a long time! Makes me want to upgrade graphics card though...

 

[cheesy999]

i got a sony bravia 32" last Christmas for ~250, unfortunately price does matter with these things, i've seen a lot of TV's but none have matched up to the Panasonic plasma at the moment

Don't get those TV's advertised as 4 colours though, its a rip off as the films are only filmed in 3, all it does is lower the accuracy

 

[scaminatrix]

one of these for £350. Save £200 on RRP yada yada yada.

*has previously been on sale at £329.99*

how powerfull is yours

9000BTU

its literally this one here but maybe an older model. theyve had it a while but never used it

9000BTU

mine's 12000 BTU

35KG though so its not the most portable of air conditioners, although i've had an idea, would it be possible to attach the pipe from an air conditioner onto your CPU heatsink instead of a fan?

 

[FreedomEclipse]

youre thinking back to the days when OCZ had a phase change unit called 'Cryo-Z'

massive thing.

Dude if you were willing to sell your 12000BTU for £70. Id gladly would have taken it off you

you can have it now if you want

but still do you think its possible?

i'm thinking 12000BTU's (whatever they are) all squished into a coolermaster 430 = cold

nah. Ive already agreed to buy it from these folks and your unit aint cheap to ship. the guy im buying from only lives less then 20mins drive away from me

no problems, i'm going to see how cool i can get the PC whilst still using stock coolers, do you think i should just put it it on top of the top inlet fan and see what happens to the temps?, as i don't want to put it onto the CPU fan as i fear i might get condensation

also, just started with boinc again, and since when have the tasks been multithreaded?, it use to be 1 task = 100% load 1 thread, now 1 task = 25% load all threads

 

[FreedomEclipse]

If the pc is in your bedroom. then just close all the windows, doors and let it chill the room and see how temps are.

its in a small room, i currently have the back door wide open, also wouldn't i need a window open, cause all the heat comes out that pipe at the back and then all the cold air comes out the front of the unit so if i put the front of the unit next to my PC, and have the exhaust pipe leaving to the garage

(seems i got confused in my previous posts, the hot air comes out of the pipe and cold air comes out the unit)

EDIT: Massive deal on scan now, look how cheap that ram is --> http://www.scan.co.uk/products/4gb-...1600)-non-ecc-unbuffered-cas-7-7-7-20-dhx-19v

 

[FreedomEclipse]

yeah, Im kinda wondering where im gonna put the exhaust pipe. Might need to leave a small gap in my door. my beds near the window so i cant put the unit by the window

i'm thinking if i leave it with the pipe acting as a wedge keeping the door open that might be the best route, now all thats left is thinking of what to say when the other people in my house moan how i got the room down to about 5'c, cause i'm planning on doing it about 10 o clock at night, i might just stick the unit under my pc desk put the pipe into the kitchen and hope since its under my desk the cold will be contained

5'c exaggerating much? most AC's limit the temps from 18-24'c. 18 would still feel pretty chilly

its only going to be about 20'c in the room, i'm going to do it at about 9-10 o-clock at night

 

[FreedomEclipse]

My room is RARELY 20'c even right now with the windows and doors right open its around 24'c

perfect really but when it gets to 27'c then it gets all stuffy and humid in the room. Finally able to leave the windows open all night as i got some mosquito netting up

i've stuck a thermometer on top of the grill for the intake fan on my PC and its showing 21'c, so its a lot colder down south obviously

and that'd under my PC desk which is usually 3-4'c hotter then the outside temp (not at moment i'm only crunching on one thread)

 

[FreedomEclipse]

I got a digi thermostat on my desk above the shelf above my PC -- so my temps could be a little skewed as my PC is on my desk too and not on the floor.

my subwoofer is on the floor

my subwoofer is on the floor

my thermometer is above my PC, more precisely about 5cm away from my CPU so if my temps aren't skewed i'm considerably lucky

Norton just flashed up a performance alert now i've set boinc to 4 threads
