Think "Remote Car Start" for your PC

[geno]

Who's seen these before?

Or how about a turbo timer for your PC?

Funny stuff

wow...

the part about the fan that stays on for a while thingy,
does it REALLY make such a diff. i mean think of it; my cpu operates around 48 degrees C, when it heats up to its max it gets to maybe 64-65 degrees C. If i shut down right now it'll probably go up to 54 or so, which is not at ALL worrisome, its not like if i turn off th efan when the comptuer powers off the CPU will overheat or something!

how retarded

edit: the car starter link doens't work for me

yeah the turbo timer seems a little pointless

It won't get hotter when you turn it off. That's absurd. There's nothing producing heat.

man, they'll try to sell anything these days.

 

[thomsbrain]

those are both pretty ridiculous

Haha
ironic that it shows an AT computer with the ATX compatible label on the product.

btw - the remote start for the computer has been made by individuals easily enough. there are guides on many modding sites.

the turbo timer is stupid, because the CPU doesn't get hotter after your turn off your PC (since no more energy is being put into your CPU). thus, the CPU would cool down normally of its own accord, and it would never get hotter than what it was when it was just turned off (so it's like increasing the fan speed while the comp is on). the thing just cools down your CPU faster, but that might lead to eventual wear due to it heating/cooling too quickly (not likely)

meh. =/

computers turn OFF???

wait a second. it says it's "infrared" but there's an antenna?

Geez.. why doesn't someone just try and market an "atomizer" that causes the electricity to "swirl" before reaching the CPU, thus adding an automatic overclock...
