You have two pedals and a steering wheel. What more do you need to know? :scratch:
How do you know they're all in the toilets, not just more of them? Did you do a survey/poll?
The cruise control is important outside of the main cities. Some sites/facilities are 100+ miles from the airports.
Setting the clock or resetting the odometer can also be a hassle, not to mention the audio/telephony systems.
Of course there is no concern for power steering fluids, etc. as in the old days.
I meant the other people in the vehicle. Obviously I am not a Canon.

Did another SSD move to a spare I pulled from a dead T430. It's only marginally larger, but much, much faster. Easily twice as fast and then some. I keep getting the itch to abandon Windows and go for my ambition to set up a Linux server with PCI-E passthrough to a Windows VM for my games, but then I pulled up CPU-Z to verify something and uh... I don't have VT-d on this machine. That sent my hopes packing and the laziness really set in -- I'm probably stuck on Windows until I build an entirely new machine.

I don't need a second computer in the case. I'm actually looking for just a flat plate that will mount the motherboard and PSU, with the GPU mounted co-planar to the MB and VESA holes to mount the whole thing behind the monitor. Then just mount waterblocks and plumb it out to an external cooler.
I need a diagram for that. Are you saying the monitor and humongous case will be attached permanently? What is holding up that 60 lb. setup and aiming it at your head?

The only parts of my current workstations are:
1. Motherboard (CPU, RAM, M.2 SSD onboard)
2. GPU
3. PSU
With waterblocks connected to the CPU and GPU, they aren't particularly large or heavy. There are PCIe extension cables that allow the GPU to be mounted near (but not sticking out of) the motherboard. I want a single piece of metal plate that has mounting holes for the motherboard on one side, a bracket for the GPU on the other, and in the middle a VESA-spec set of holes. The whole thing will fit (or just about) behind a 32" monitor. Links for stuff to help visualize below:

I see. Or you could buy the imac pro.
I'm not made of money, and I like fast and silent computers
Which GPU? CPU & GPU links are the same.
I'm seeing only a mainboard, not a CPU or GPU. :scratch:

Why is the CPU irrelant? It's the main part of the computer! Where does the water go, to a drain or is it recycled somehow?

Jesus, talk about sticker shock. I had to seriously think about dropping the 150 apiece on the Z77 board and 4GB 960 I'm running now. Yeah, I know, I got taken for a ride on both -- but impatience and insistence on specific quality levels drove me to it.
I finally got Forza Horizon 3's PC port working -- after a fashion. It crashes to desktop after about 10 minutes of gameplay -- not a driver recovery or anything that would indicate instability on my GPU's part though this is one of few games I have configured to really peg my GPU at 100%, and apparently it's just very crashy on PC. Oh well. Considering when I bought it, I wasted a month downloading it only to have it not even launch, I'll take any sort of improvement on that I can get -- especially as MS seems to have a "no refunds" policy. :sad:

That's a neat looking GPU with that water block. I don't remember if you've posted a pic of the entire build. If not I'd be interested to check it out.

Hard-pipe plumbing that routes to a radiator next to the rad on my heat-pump water heater. The heat produced by my computer makes my water heater more efficient.
And the CPU isn't important because I'm mainly worried about the physical install/layout. Just buying the highest clockspeed CPU and sticking it in isn't an issue (i7-8700k ATM?)

He has an undocumented worker gather it up in a bucket and discard it out the back door behind the house and then insert cold.

I decided to not actually mess with the house plumbing, but my water heater uses an electric heat pump. This means that it pulls heat from the air around the water heater to heat the water. All the waste heat from my rack goes out to the garage, and a radiator right next to the water heater blows the hot air directly onto the water heaters intake. It was actually some really easy plumbing work, and I trust myself to do it as it isn't hooked to any potable faucet and has a limited volume of liquid to pour out. I'm actually tempted to do the same pulling the heat away from the back of the fridge; I'm sure the fridge will be more efficient if their heatsink isn't hot, and the spare heat can go into the hot water.
Worth it? Unlikely. But trying to optimize systems is fun.

Storage is cool
Until you remove so much heat that the condensate doesn't evaporate, and you get water pooling under the fridge... :wink:

I'm probably going to change my strategy as what I'm doing now simply isn't working fast enough for my liking. I'll probably try to grab some certs to get a better job and then use that as a springboard for the rest of my education. As it stands right now my only option for school would be loans, and I'm done screwing my future self over to have something today.

Good tip. Install drain....
Have you calculated the thermodynamic efficiency? What efficiency does the heat pump have and then what is the energy from the computer that is actually transferred on a daily basis? I suspect that the overall difference may literally be a few seconds of hot water usage.
