Well, I was going to just make Raymond speak gibberish, but speaking in L337 was close enough to gibberish, so I figured I'd just write out his conversation with that.

I could if you want.

you going to invest in some liquid cooling, or do you want to see it catch on fire?

well, there's other ways... you can get some serious airflow modding to work for low levels of overclocking... or thermal baffles (cost almost as much as liquid cooling though) they have freeon-laced refrigeration cases that work pretty good...
liquid cooling seems to be the most bang for the buck though.

Yeah, I had friends who liked overclocking.  I was never a serious enough computer gamer to really need that extra fraction of a hertz speed.

Although I probably should have invested in a better cooling system.  I lived in Vegas at the time, and the AC liked to go out sometimes.

yea, if the air you are pumping into the case is only marginally cooler that the furnace inside it... you could have problems.

At least I'm not there anymore.  Now, my computer supplements the heater in my room (I love Minnesota.)

And it's sitting next to the window.

I've had a computer in my room so long I can't sleep anymore without the comforting hum of the fans.

Unless I'm going away for at least a few days, I leave my computer running.  If I'm in my room, I have my entire music playlist going on Random.

I don't quite have that much.  more like 150 hours' worth.  Didn't have a very good internet connection for a while, and nothing in my room.  I really need to get a wireless network card so I can bum access somewhere.

Yea... I'd suggest getting airsnort as well; so you can break any encryption that your neighbors may be running.
