    Yeah if you don't want to build something yourself I think the NZXT Sentry LXE could be an option, and maybe be build into your desk if thats what you want.

    I don't think you are getting what I'm saying. Imagine this example A car with a 100kW engine that weighs 1000kg is going full speed, lets just say 50m/s. The engine is delivering 100kW of mechanical energy right? The kinetic energy of the car is 0.5*m*v^2 which in this case turn out to be 1.25MJ and this kinetic energy does not change, as the car is going at it's max speed. Where does all the power from the engine go? It goes to overcoming air and rolling resistance, but mostly air resistance at that speed. So it starts going into the air as kinetic energy, ie. the car moves the air, but the air settles after a while, because it losses it's energy as heat due to friction, aka the air got hotter In the same way, the reason the power of the pump is transformed into heat is because of the friction the water experiences.

    I'm saying the energy converted into moving the water will become heat because of friction, the pump itself does not produce 100% heat no, but all the energy put into the water will become heat because of friction
  4. MrLau
    No all the energy will go into heat. You can have 100% efficiency when converting to heat. If not where would the the power go? the kinetic energy of the water does not keep increasing, since the water just have a constant velocity.
  5. MrLau
    The pump will put 30W into the system as heat, some of it as loss in the motor the rest as friction heating in the water.
  6. MrLau
    The only reason water cooling will dump more heat into the room is because of the extra power draw from the pump, which will often be around 10-30 watt. It has nothing to do with transferring heat faster or anything, the CPU and GPU will use almost exactly the same power, they will probably use slightly less due to being more efficient at lower temperatures, but I don't believe that will make up for the power draw of the pump, I however haven't tested it or looked into it.

    You might be able to use silica gel to dry the air instead of a cold trap, it will of course have to be dried out when they have absorbed all it can, but it could be a much cheaper alternative if you could make it work.
  8. MrLau
    Have you watched Applied Science video on his freeze drying, if not they are worth checking out However I think you will need some form of cold trap, which might require a pretty expensive dual stage pump to keep cold, if you don't want to use dry ice or liquid nitrogen. The computer control will be pretty easy compared to all the other stuff you have to make. So I think your focus should be on getting it to work manually first, and then automate it later.
  9. MrLau
    I would suggest maybe looking for a used i7-3770k as that uses the same socket, and you might be able to pick one up at around the same price of the 2600k

    First of the one you linked to is a scrypt miner not a bitcoin miner. So it can only mine scrypt based coins not bitcoins. If it has a hashrate of 32MH/s as your friend say, it should be able to generate $1-$1.5 dollars a day at the current price and difficult. accoding to this calculator http://www.coinwarz.com. Is it worth it? thats up to you keep in mind that at $1.5 dollar a day it will take 100days to pay it self back. I also using alot of power probably around 400W, which will heat up your room some.
  11. MrLau
    I'm considering upgrading from my i5-2500k, but it won't be for atleast 4-5 months, when prices have fallen a little and my wallet has grown a little
  12. MrLau
    Super nice for media/streaming pc, would love to win one
  13. MrLau
    The 900 series should make it possible to make some very good small systems, since they are so efficent, that thermal managment should be a lot easier in a small case
  14. MrLau
    While most of what you say is true, I would like to add that clock speed does have an effect on how much power the CPU consumes. I does only scale linear though, while it scales to the square of voltage.

    My favorite thing about this phone must be the build quality with the hardware to back it's solid feel up.
