Swear to god, I live in the wrong country ;_;

It's unavoidable. It's measurable. Electrical resistive heating is greater, mechanical friction is greater, and compressive heating is greater. ...

Do you want your computer to sound like a C-130? If it ain't broke don't fix it.

I suspect what he might have been trying to say is the compression of air and friction of air caused by the fan impacting air molecules can heat the...

Correction: InfoWorld, March 16, 1987, page 17 - Number Nine is shipping Pepper SGT, 1 MB RAM, expandable to 4 MB, 1280x480x16. So, definitely...

Thank you for your replies. I have a Mac keyboard that I have been using while I located this one. When I substitute that keyboard, using the...

Faster fans heat the air more? I don't think so. I was standing near my friend's very large stand up room fan in the summer and it sure made me feel...

I use Syncthing to transfer files out of (and in to) my Android gadgets, via wi-fi. For photos and videos there's a (pay-for, but cheap) Android (and...

But what if all the fans in my PC case push just about the same amount of air? (Including the front fan, rear fan, CPU fan, and the PSU fan)

I did some further search, and looks like the first Number Nine card with TMS 34010 and Intel 82786 was "Pepper 1600", from July 1987, 1600x1200...

Where is it? Does it work? Which main board is in the PET?

Except that a faster fan *heats* the air more, not *cools* it more. True, you'll move more room-temperature air through the power supply, up to a...

I'll rephrase this part a bit: Although PSU makers design the cooling fan to balance noise level and be good enough cooling for the unit, I notice my...

The engineers who are trained to design and spec components for it may disagree, but I digress. It's definitely not going to blast parts off the...

It is not only the processor that counts, can the other parts cope as well with a higher clock speed? If you really want to give it a try, the...

Because 68k changes almost all flags after almost every instruction. It even sets carry and OF after every MOVE even if from memory to memory. ...

I once built a computer desk out of PS/2 towers. I couldn't pay anyone to take them and so long as I could use them that way, I could keep them for...

Maybe a a Lisa 1 aquarium in their living room too? :)

I kept a 233 and another one a client gave me. They used to command big bucks on ebay.... til everyone realized there were zillions of them. I hope...

I remember seeing a picture somewhere of a couch a guy made from Mac IIs. Dunno if he gutted them to do it. On the plus side, maybe there's...
