Keeping myself busy

Note to my readers: For the last time, please stop talking to me about my blog. There are some out there who are not aware of the existence of this blog. And if you do mention, then they'd know about it to.

Anyway, what was said is right. Keeping yourself busy is a form of self-escapism. At least it's temporarily working. Just to contain myself, I am posting this here.

I am working with a friend on a new cooling system for computers. And at least that's one aspect that's keeping myself busy and taking my mind off several other disturbing yet discerning thoughts swimming about in my head.

I bought two Coolermaster Hyper212s CPU coolers. They aren't cheap, but still cheaper than the top-of-the-line Thermalright 120 extremes. Apparently, the Hyper212s performance comes almost on par with the 120 extreme.

Now each of this cooler can handle an overclocked quad-core CPU, and I got 2. So you can imagine the cooling power. (still can't match a water-cooled setup though).

Nevertheless, that's one, next I got a 0.8A 120mm Delta and a 2.5A Minebea 120mm fan! More power than a puny 0.35A coolermaster or 0.16A iCute fan.

These fans are really powerful. The delta can move by itself when it's powered on, and the Minebea totally rattles and propels itself across my table. At 2.5A, it's THREE times power powerful than the Delta. When I switched it on, I didn't dare to touch it lest it chops off my fingers.

This will all go into a project that I am working on and expect to complete in a month or so. Stay tuned!
