Rosbjerg Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Do you have that speaker underneath your desk between your legs when you're playing games, Rosbjerg? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> iyeah, it's also quite handy as a place to put your feet up when watching films etc .. but a subwoofer belongs on the ground, where it can make the house rumble! and I quite enjoy my view as well Kaftan .. unfortunatly you can't see the 180+ years old trees just outside, they are magnificant! but my view will soon change to a more urban envoriment as I'm moving to Copenhagen within the next couple of months.. so next time a thread like this arises it'll be nothing but grey buildings outside! and I understand you sentiments on playing Dreamfall .. I would want it to be perfect as well! Fortune favors the bald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 okay then .. I guess this thread wouldn't be complete without me posting my desk as well? :cool: ^_^ and Kaftan I envy you for having Dreamfall .. I want that game so bad!!

LadyCrimson Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 That's a very interestingly shaped room, rosbjerg. I like that window shelf with the step raised floor & the ceiling slope of what I assume is a small closet door. The candle holders are cool too. :D I have a sub-woofer under my desk too...not as big/powerful, but I love the bass. Which reminds me, I should get some new PC speakers. “Things are as they are.

Bokishi Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Another open PC? What about dust and accidently kicking it? Current 3DMark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 I used to keep my cases open...my old computer still is. It gets really really hot in this room in summer, plus in order to attach it you needed a lot of screws, making it a pain in the arse to take it off if you needed...so it was just easier to leave it off for more airflow. My main PC has better cooling and a snap on side so I leave it on. As to dust, you can just take it outside now and then and blow it around with canned air. “Things are as they are.

mkreku Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Airflow through a case designed for air cooling is actually worse if you leave it open than if it's closed. Basically, the fans form a draft through the entire case if you have the sides on, but without sides the fan just sucks in air from the closest possible distance. Of course, the turbulence created should still cool the parts some, but efficiency is decreased. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

What about dust and accidently kicking it? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think open PC's dust is less than close,but I don't know why. Accident kick...hum ,I try 5 times but nothing happen.

Of course, the turbulence created should still cool the parts some, but efficiency is decreased. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not to mention the dust will damage your fans and other hardware 10 times faster. And I know that ometimes the airflow doesnt work like you imagine it to. My case, an Antec Sonata(special quiet case) has only a single 12cm fan that doesnt blow air into the case but sucks air out, and despite the intake holes being very tiny it works like a charm. At first I thought it was stupid and reversed the fan so it blew air into the case but that made everything run hot and so I swicthed it back.

LadyCrimson Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 All I know is on the old computer, with the case on, the computer would flake out in the hot weather...with it off, it was fine and had nary a problem...and it still works, I still use it. That was a smaller case than the one on the current PC tho, and didn't have all the extra fans and whatnot. “Things are as they are.

Deraldin Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 I don't have a side on my case either. Mine is missing mostly because I seem to have misplaced it. Had a month or two where I had the side off because my computer was overheating with it on and the only way that I could keep it cool was to have a 12' floor fan blowing on it with the side off. After that I had a virus but didn't know what it was and thought it was actually a hardware problem so I was continually swapping out hardware for awhile hoping that something would work. My computer room ended up being cleaned at some point and now I can't find the side of the case. Atleast I don't have to worry about screwing up the airflow as my case has no fans beyond those on the CPU, GPU and the PS. Now where did I put that camera...
