Keeping rig in australia

[9_breaker]

i didnt know where to put this. im building a new rig and im in australia. it gets hot and humid here. i need to know how to keep my rig cool and to stop moisture from getting in.

Hyper 212 evo is a good cooler for that.

Couple of little silica get**Gel** packets will soak up any moisture in the case
but if you really want to go mad
size up a watercooling loop, then bore out/ dig a 4 foot hole in the yard, should be nice and cool down there, have a 5 gallon reservoir in there to run your water through.
oh, and use quick connect fitments so you can remove the Pc easily to drain or attach a more orthodox radiator

ill go withe second one

 

[9_breaker]

digging a hole sounds fun

 

[Motopsychojdn]

Awesome, you go deep enough so it stays cool, but make sure the reservoir is absolutely sealed, no dirt or worms in there at all
it'll take a bit of designing obviously, but if your'e up for it I'll advise as best as I can, and I'm sure rubix and a couple of others might get wind of the plan and shout up too

its starting to sound more complicated . ill have to consult with a specialist

 

[Motopsychojdn]

No probs man, mention this idea though, and see what he says
its by no means a standard practice, its not unheard of though, there was one guy I read about uses a swimming pool to home his res

I actually thought motopsycho was joking 'till I saw the link. This whole thing might be a joke to us, but sometimes don't you do feel that you're the only sane person around?

God, what is happening to this planet ???

Me....

I don't know where I got my tagline from, but it holds true in a lot of situations,
See the end result you desire then find a way to accomplish it
I guess theres more of me around than I thought hehe and sanity? sanity is a perception thing
