    Reviving an old 3DFX powered PC

    Dude, those pictures are absolutely exquisite. If you don't mind my asking, What camera and settings are you using to take those?

    did i loose all my data?

    I use Kernel for Windows Data Recovery. It's gotten me out of a couple jams with customer systems. It's read only as well....around $50 for the full version.

    Reviving an old 3DFX powered PC

    I have a shop full of old P1, P2, P3, and some Athlon stuff. I've been repairing and upgrading them here lately for a computer yard sale. Everything must go!

    I've got a registered copy of tradewars I used to run on my bbs.....I've used it local more recently.

    Swimming pool for water cooling

    Found a plate type heat exchanger that's 316L: http://www.ebay.com/itm/70-plate-Heat-Exchanger-5-x-12-1-1-4-MNPT-316L-/390305608479?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5ae006f31f#ht_1763wt_1139 That should solve my chlorine problem. And an inlet filter for leaves and bugs should take care of the...

    Swimming pool for water cooling

    Well....that's a relief knowing I won't overheat the swimmers in the pool during the summer months. Three Radeon 6990s per box.

    Swimming pool for water cooling

    Well.....for one, my pool is 7500 gallons. Number two, I'm estimating power heat dissapation of each machine to be at least 1200 watts. 1200x6=7200 watts of heat. I don't think I'll have any trouble heating the pool. But alas, the point of the thread was not to heat the pool, but to cool the...

    Swimming pool for water cooling

    Well.....It wouldn't be a problem to add a filter to the intake in the pool. But I'm thinking of another idea that may be waaay cheaper. Toilet water cooling. Use the resevoir tank on a toilet to cool the hot GPUs. It gets flushed numerous a day so the cool water would always be replenished...

    Swimming pool for water cooling

    Well.....I am really wanting to start out with 6x 4U systems sporting 3x Radeon 6990s each. I think that would heat a pool nicely. Summertime might be a problem, though.

    Oooo...That's a good idea, too.

    Swimming pool for water cooling

    Yeah...been looking at some of them online. A little pricey.

    Swimming pool for water cooling

    It will be a good sized job. But like I said, I'm going to need to cool at least 6 systems that are practically a fireball by themselves. Probably 3 GPUs per machine running full throttle 24/7.

    Swimming pool for water cooling

    Yeah.....didn't realize about chlorine reacting with the metals. A heat exchanger is definetely in order! Maybe a 2 wall heat exchanger using coolant on the computer side. That would prevent reaction with metals and a 2 wall HE is safer in case of a wall breach. As for the leak, Someone is...

    Swimming pool for water cooling

    Right now, I'm just waiting on a big check to arrive. I will definetely log the build with pics as I go. Temperature in the pool on a hot day might reach 90F. Winter time, Hmmm......probably just above freezing or lower. I'm sure one system could keep it from freezing up. Maybe have a bypass...
