Zipties???

Our rear tires have a camber... Alignment is needed....

Well, I broke GRUB on my secondary machine after deleting a partition... of what I have no clue...

You will need a way to completely isolate the water form the wood. Like a plastic insert instead of the window.

Yes, the water will not come out of the wood. I'm going to say glass for now but something else will most definitely be used. Basically, the window (actually I should say side panel, because it will span the height and width) is detachable and slides into grooves on the wood. You can fill the water by detaching the side panel and filling water and dye into it. Then, insert the plug so the water does not leak, and slide it back into the grooves and then you have your water side panel.

The sliding is also very easy in terms of installing your parts. Need to edit a part? Just slide out the side panel, make some modifications, slide it back in.

I don't know if you've already gone ahead with this design, but wouldn't acrylic be better than glass? It'd make the case less brittle.

 

[turkey3_scratch]

No I have not, and TBH probably will not because I have not the skill to even make something like so.

Doesn't In Win use tempered glass on some of its' higher end cases? I wonder how they make it so the glass doesn't get scratched during the installation? Personally I would try to do something with as few sharp edges as possible, I sliced my finger framing a poster yesterday, that kind of sucked. At least the poster was OK. :lol:

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Ouch.

 

[g-unit1111]

Ouch.

Yeah I guess that's what I get for buying $10 frames. :lol:

I just hosed off the radiators. They are actually very clean, the only thing on them is a couple grease marks here and there since they were used in cars. I also poured water into the holes and saw no signs of any leaks, so that is good!

Yeah, who am I kidding, I can't do wood work 😛 I would have to buy a miter saw and other such stuff. I could make a computer out of the case of my computer case though. Cardboard computer sounds appealing to me. I actually know how to cut cardboard 😛

I actually wouldn't mind spending about $30 on heavy-duty cardboard at home depot and making some form of a large double-decker computer. Then it would be on a cardboard platform which would have 4 radiators.

Just got an email from Fomoco, apparently these Ford transmission oil coolers sell on Ebay for $110!

 

[tiny voices]

Those are actually oil radiators, not water radiators.

Thinking of buying a used motherboard, what would be a reasonable price for a Asus p8p67 with two ram slots not working and no i/o shield?

Would the board still be reliable with two dysfunctional slots?

I know they are.

I'd say $5? :lol:

Seriously two RAM slots not working - do not buy. I would say that there's a chance there is something else wrong with the motherboard that the seller is not disclosing.

 

[Bossyfins]

WHat slots? #1 and #3, or #2 and #4? Or #1 and #2? SO basically, can you run dual channel/

We posted at the same time. Lol

 

[tiny voices]

RAM slots not working usually means bent CPU pins. Like 90% of the time.

 

[Bossyfins]

^ Yup, so find what slots work, then see if you fix the pins.

He can always hang it on his wall.

Speaking of which I just framed 4 of my rarest classic Pokemon cards from the 90s and am putting it on my wall. I am hoping that one day I can sell my hundreds of cards. Unfortunately I do not have a Charizard. Its worth keeps getting higher, as it sells for about $40 now.

 

[tiny voices]

I have a mint 1st edition Charizard. They aren't worth crap. 40 might be like magazine inflated price.

I have almost an entire set of all the original 1st edition cards.

Aww :O I am so jealous. I'm just going by the amazon prices. It does seem cheaper now though, about $14 but not new.

Could water work in those radiators? I don't see why not.

 

[tiny voices]

$14 sounds about right. There are no real valuable Pokemon cards. There ARE, however, some VERY valuable Magic and Yughio cards though.

 

[turkey3_scratch]

Yeah Pokemon cards were mass produced like crazy in the 90s. I think the whole world was into those things.

 

[tiny voices]

Yeah definitely. The only valuable cards (like more than $35) are misprints or error cards. I have a Pikachu error card where the cheeks are the wrong color and it's supposedly worth like $50.

 

[turkey3_scratch]

It's a shame kids these days never got to enjoy the good trading card experiences. I feel like cards are practically dead. Most kids I see under the age of 10 anymore simply are on their iPhone playing some horrendous game. I'd prefer my Gameboy to an iPhone any day.

 

[RazerZ]

well looks like I'll pass on the board if thats the case

Black lotus...

Tcgs are still popular, though to a lesser extent with younger kids. Find a local card store and there should be plenty of people there, especially on tournament days. I feel that pokemon and yugioh have gone way down hill since the classics, I actually feel sorry for the kids playing the new games.

 

[turkey3_scratch]

Speaking of tournament days I was in Best Buy yesterday and there had to be some 70 people competing in a Smash Bros tournament. I was considering joining and whooping their poor behinds with Jigglypuff, but decided neh. Then I looked to my left and saw on the shelf these overpriced junk power supplies. I was getting ink anyway, I wasn't looking for a PSU.
