    Yeah... I took an ambien last week and I woke up to a receipt for a moonlander. I wanted an ergodox previously, but I saw the Moonlander and apparently had to have it, and its $365 charge. I'm excited! I just hope my wife will be too, doubt it.

    So I may know why the Gskill km570 legs are so short. I'm talking like .5 cm or something. Evyerbody who has reviewed this keyboard pointed out this point. Well, I got my work to buy me one and it was the cheapest I could find that had mc blue switches and macros. Well I figured out at work that my steelseries mousepad is about as thick as the legs are tall. My keyboard has to sit half on my mousepad b/c of deskspace. I pop a leg up and my keyboard doesn't wobble. It's a perfect matching height (keyboard short ass leg v. mousepad).

    I just got a keyboard with blues at work today. Boss didn't know they are loud AF, but I can close my office door.

    I haven't even gotten into half of this, but they want 10% of all revenue, and then even worse Vice TV wants to make you run all videos by them first.

    I see Linus just posted a video of a water cooler w/ no pump (boiling water title), but this looks so much cooler and seems to cool better.

    Linus went to Der8auer's booth at Computex last year and covered his phase change cooler. I can't find the video right now, but here is Steve's: Does anybody know if there has been an update? It was anticipated last 2018 beginning 2019.

    Thanks a lot for the tip and design! Very informative
  8. AlpacasSayQuack
    Ooo. Thanks for the tip! I have spare small heatsinks from junk boards and things laying around.

    Thanks for the link. My ali 12v peltiers are 1-2 bucks a piece instead of $17 so I may stay with that. Thanks again for that btw though. Also, I have a lot of 12v fans laying around so I'll be running 12v for those anyway.

    Disclosure: I'm not sure how much power it will take to regulate the temp in my humidor, but I'm worried the l298 IC can't run it. The peltier pads have max powers starting about 60 w. The l298 has a max power of 25 watts and a current of 2amps. Considering the pad runs 12v, i'm looking at 24w at most. I'm thinking of running an arduino controlled relay. I'll use an ATX PSU breakout board (or really print my own) and run the 5V to power the arduino, and run the 12v to the peltier pads through the relay controlled by the arduino. What do you think about the build?

    21 degrees Celsius = 70 degrees Fahrenheit. I never knew what liquid was in heat pipes. I thought many were a lower freezing refrigerant or something. With these comments, I'll be putting the heat pipe heat sink on the hot exterior side of the pad, and the interior side will be the solid aluminum heat sink.

    All of the innards will be in the back, and unseen. It's a nice table so it will look fine. It doesn't matter how it looks. I can spend my $300 I'm saving on top-shelf cigars.

    This is actually a simple setup. Super simple, and cheap. This will cost me less than $30 dollars. I have endtable FREE I have cedar and other building materials already FREE I have spare arduinos, PCBs, LCDs, and temp sensors. FREE PSU laying around: Free Peltier pad $2.00 Breakout Board for PSU $10.00 Spare fans laying around: FREE Heatsinks: FREE thermal paste: $15
  14. AlpacasSayQuack
    Great. This answers my questions fully! One of my junk heatsinks I found is just that: Solid piece of aluminum with big fins. Thanks for the cryo paste! I'll use it. Heatpipe heatsink for hotside outside of endtable and the solid aluminum with fans for airflow on the inside.
  15. AlpacasSayQuack
    No. Coldside of peltier > thermal paste > heatsink (which would be cold) . Would thermal paste be efficient when it is attached to a cold surface vs. a hot CPU lid? Secondly, which heatsink would work better when cold, heatpiped one or a solid aluminum? I'm making a wine cooler basically. Instead of running a compressor, rad, refrigerant etc, i'm running a peltier pad.
