BBC story a watercooled PC

[Scottland]

...hence the 5TB of disk space

Nah, the disk space is for all the cracked versions of games he plays on his uber machine

Also, if you pause the clip at 00.38 secs, you really get a sense of how much of a weirdo she thinks he is

"So Dave, alias Mr. Emulator, what have you done to your computer?"

She looks so uneasy.

 

[mitch212k]

people sound like such bellends talking about computers IRL!

 

[loltim]

How on earth did he kill 2 x GTX280's? What a knob.

 

[V4NT0M]

LMAO what nerd.

 

[Red and White]

Don't dis this too much guys.

I've followed this build log for along time on another forum, and hes a great guy.

There is another article on it :http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7908141.stm

But more about the watercooling itself

link?

My favourite bit;

 

[Kennysevenfold]

not really news worthy i would say....

 

[mattyj1085]

he's getting laid tonight

Modifications of this kind can be dangerous and invalidate manufacturer warranties. Such projects should only be carried out by qualified engineers in controlled conditions.

I read this today. The word "Engineer" seems to be thrown around a lot these days and quite loosely.

At what point do you need to be a "Qualified Engineer" to be able to put together a liquid cooling system.

I cant remember at any point being tought about fitting a Water Cooling System together.

Quite frankly chaps I think he is a terrible representative of the gaming/overclocking community!

More like an honest representation.

Don't try to pretend that custom PC and overclocking 'communities' aren't full of people like this.

 

[Iraklis F.C.]

so expensive components and no intel SSD inside?epic fail tbh

 

[Ging3r]

link?

Dont think i should put it up here, its a forum that you could say is a competitor

 

[Monkey Puzzle]

He killed 2 gtx280 cards. What a silly boy.

 

[SinaiSound]

Followed his thread on another forum with some interest.

Wonder how this became worthy of a news article? Are the BBC trawling sites for stuff like this?

 

[Cr0fty]

I'm betting they received this one day:

Is it bad that I just read that as normal text?
Quality!

I do like the case though =)

If I had built that spent that much ( I once broke a Mach 3 and decided to buy another! :O - to go with my Silverstone TJ07 £220 inc. with no PSU!) I would definitely bought another monitor, Would like to have another now but can't afford atm.

 

[Nanoman]

I cant stand orange PCs, the thing is horrible imo. It was quite funny when he said that it would be loud having 3 fans for the graphics cards and then it immediatly cuts to 3 fans on the rad lol.

 

[Margaret]

That thing doesn't look cool at all. I'll take my Antec P182 fridge without mods over that contraption any day.

 

[Lethagized]

Ha, your all just jealous because the BBC didn't come round your house and check out your pc Admittedly you can't explain how a computer works without sounding like a complete nob, so it didn't make him look too cool anyway.

Also whats going on with the 19" monitor?? 3 GTX280's on a titchy monitor

He should have put left 4 dead on blowing zombie's heads off. That would give the woman nightmares
