In celebration of spring, I thought i'd cut up an electric heater.

I add to the pages every day, check-em out

put an amd and a big heatsink in it, and it will almost work like it was designed to.. i know my barton warms up my room by like 2-3 degree's atleast
 
Common people someone put there computer in a heater box! I havent seen this before. :D

I guess, the limits of my intel exposure have been my lappy and my htpc *p3 1.13M and cele800, respectively*
 
At first glance, I thought this was a project to install a heating unit inside your computer. Needless to say, I was greatly confused. At any rate, it looks good, I like it a lot.

My Barton, Palomino, Mobile Duron, PIII, and Dual PII system kept my room up to about 10c above the rest of the house. :p
 
I only have two systems, a tbred 2100+ and a barton 2500, both run pretty cool. What heats up my room is my wifes 19in gateway monitor, the friggen beast keeps our computer room about 20c hotter than the rest of the house. In the winter we shut the vent in that room and crack a window and the damn room still stays hot. Any wonder why I went to water cooling? :D
 
How about using some EL wire and making those heating coils look like they're glowing. Might freak people out. :D

Well, in terms of heat output, the prescott takes the cake at something like 100+ watts.

Damn... That means that my 2100+ is putting out almost as much heat as a Prescott P4! :D

Sandra 2004 reports my approx heat output to be somewhere in the mid to high 90's IIRC :cool: (Though, it's probably a bit higher than Sandra thinks it is because I think that program uses the NB temp as the ambient temp in its calculations which would result in lower heat output numbers due to the gap between the ambient and CPU load temps being smaller... That is, if it calculates the heat output the way I think it might... :rolleyes: )

BTW, cpuFAILURE, that is an awesome case idea you came up with!
 
very cool, i have not been to cpufailure.com for a while now. maybe i should check back more often :)
 
Cool Idea, it could still function as a heater too, being how hot the internals get. Its a shame you could jam all the stuff inside the case with out having to put the psu outside. Otherwise its a great job, keep up the good work!
 
Well, thanks for the replies.

I got a cuple enermax temperature probes, ill be sticking one to the P4 2.4 thats gonna be in there.

STILL WAINTING FOR THE DAMN CDROM TO COME IN!!

Somethign about that monitor screams 'FIRE HAZARD' at me...
 
Its not that it overheats, you put your hand on it and its warm, but not too hot. Its just that its so damn big that the radiant heat it puts out is enough to warm a room up, couple that with two computers, another 17in monitor all crammed into a 10x13 room and you have instant hot room :)
 
Hmmm...a few nice wood benches,some lava rocks,pot of water,towel rack and a cooler full of beer and its the steam room from hell!:p
 
My 21" Sony Trinitron heats up the corner of the room I'm in pretty bad. I'm always bitching about how hot the room is and my roommate always says I'm insane. It has to be putting out about 100F air if it's been on for awhile.
 
looks good, but what if you were to put the part of the shoud that screws into the heater on the inside?
