Hehe...I just ordered two more motherboards! 🙂

5 of the PC's will be without cases and located on a rack. There is a temp. controlled window fan (dual fans) that kick on when it gets hotter. I insulated my garage door with two layers of stryofoam to keep the summer heat out and the fans do the rest. It does get hot in there, but not so hot that the processors and other components can't handle. The AC here runs just like always, but this being the 3rd hottest summer in 100 years, it would have run anyway. Upstairs, I have 4 PC's in one room...with a dual window fan that pulls the heat out. I let that room get warmer ....in Winter, it's nice! 🙂

I've seen an increase in the electric bill....but at this point, I don't mind the bill. Like I said, the winter will be a bonus! 😉



:Q Hardcore, man. Haaardcore.
 
Did I mention that two of those systems are dualies? :Q

😀

Also have 3 or 4 Pentium 200 or smaller systems, but don't feel that they are worth the effort at this point....and besids, I'm out of room in the house....oh, how I would love to have a big cool basement! 😀

Oh, Assim1...while I'm at it...you may remember the "Save Energy" (or something like that thread) that was started here...well, I've replaced 14 of the light bulbs in my house with the "floruesent" bulbs. At an average of 55 watts savings, that's almost 800W savings 🙂

 
I do remember that thread ,it was started by Jerboy ,I wonder where he's gone to?
Nice saving btw 🙂

Now how come you guys in hot places don't have Solar panels everywhere? ,imagine if you did ,you could double your fleet with little extra cost😉
