When Comrade McFlimby was a child, the only toys he ever wanted were a shark, a helicopter and a bridge.

# that's cool
TJ: I found the ultimate PC case - www6.tomshardware.com/howto/20040115/ - now I wonder if my bank manager will laugh at me if I try to take out a loan for £1600 for a couple of those...

# Reminds me
of my last job where I had to design a PC in an industrial airtight box and wasn't aloud to use any fans inside.

I just made a huge heatsink and bolted it onto the inside of the case and used the whole box as a heatsink. Weighed a ton but worked, totally silent P4 2.6Ghz. Left after that so I don't know if it survived more than a week. Doubt it myself, the temp got pretty high in there...

# they probably opened it up after a couple of weeks to find a puddle of metal and components
my 2 PCs are in silent cases from www.quietpc.com, they aren't exactly lightweight either, really quiet but still not quiet enough for my needs so I'm building a wooden box round them with more padding on the inside (with enough airflow so they don't melt)

# Yeah,
but they sold two of the fuckers to a customer (a big oil company) so they probably had him knocking the door down after two weeks. That was half the reason I left, bloody cowboys.

# cool
/coat

acherly ... a colleague about seven years ago had a sparc or HP workstation with a massive great heatsink and a liquid cooling system that was silent apart from a very occasional baby-belch gurgling noise
