Re: [CGUYS] Water Cooling

Hi; I live on a boat. Salt air is notorious for killing electronics. I'm building a new computer. I'm adding a water cooling system so I can eliminate fans (not for speed). Now I'm wondering if I can seal the box up so no air enters. Ideas? Anybody tried this? TIA, Victor Since both Panasonic

[CGUYS] Borrowing the Z OS from M$ and the design from Apple gets us what?

Dell Inspiron Zino HD Desktop http://www.dell.com/us/en/corp/desktops/inspiron-zino-hd/pd.aspx?refid=inspiron-zino-hds=corp Innovation means picking a different color than Apple's case. Has fewer ports too. I guess Intel was not providing any reference designs with more ports.

Fewer ports than what? This seems targeted at the mac mini, it starts out at half the cost? It has esata...no esata on mac mini. It has HDMI and full 1080p out...nope not for mac mini. It has a blu ray drive...sorry, none for ANY mac yet. The mac mini is targeted as an expensive nettop

And pretty loaded still less than 1000. I priced one out with a good complement of stuff (1 TB drive, 4 GB memory) and it was only 733. With the advent of SDHC card Video cams no longer a need for firewire. Not a bad little cube. No longer the need for these big old ugly computer desks.

Oh, look! The Inspiron Zino has a *tray-loading* DVD burner! Of course, it's Inspiron, not Latitude. Why it's like a multi-color Mac Mini with a huge fan! Zino has no FireWire; Mini does and can be easily modded to use eSATA. The Mini can connect to HDMI with a DVI-HDMI cable, so direct HDMI

Who wants BluRay? Millions...Millions of people. All those yahoos who buy big screen tvs. I said this myself, this zino thing isn't aimed at the mac mini, different tools for different jobs. The zino doesn't need FW since it has the much faster ESATA. On Sun, Nov 15, 2009 at 11:24 PM,
