Title: Watch me build a super computer
Post by: iam on September 13, 2014, 06:02:39 pm
This thread will be over the course of a few months, I will slowly but gradually build a super computer that puts anything you've seen t shame. Monthly I will drop a new CPU, GPU and motherboard. Hopefully by January it will be capable of Z/bs


I will constantly update this thread. The problem I have with many things is:

1. Cable management (hence why I quit building pc's.
2. Cooling (thinking about building a 20x20Yard water tank that I will submerge the computer(s) in

Too bad next month your processor will be obsolete

Granted, but at the top range now, it'll still be 100s of time more powerful than the top of the range CPU next month. (once I have built the SC.)

To fix your problem: If you're mostly concerned with preformance and power, fuck style and make all your cables long so you can route them snuggly anywhere outside the case and out of sight. Submerging a computer in water? I'm assuming that was a joke. Do a normal CPU/GPU water cooling loop and then make one whole side of the case plate a refrigerator style heat sink.

Dude, I saw that one guy who heats his whole house with his Bitcoin servers. Don't waste that generated heat, use it.

No, it wasn't a joke, I am thinking about submerging it. It's much better than the water cooling that you are thinking of.
