Computer equipment, as you may know, produces heat. Sometimes the heat is so excessive that computing performance is hampered by what’s known scientifically as supreme erraticus behavicus as brought about by supreme heaticus.

There are several ways to avoid this problem:

  • Apply raw beef. This is effective only for a while, as eventually normal raw beef turns into something most people would want to eat. People wanting to eat your cooling apparatus is undesirable and frankly, unhealthy.
  • Apply frozen shrimp. There is only one disadvantage to this – children.
  • Purchase expensive jelly and olive oil cooled heat sinks. Some contain water, which is so abundant on the planet Earth that it must surely be useless for anything related to computers, and shouldn’t be considered.
  • Employing gibbons. This new method of cooling computer equipment is still in early experimental stages. Little is known what effect the gibbons have on computer equipment for the long term, but empirical studies have shown that gibbons are often unreliable, and are prone to becoming disgruntled with waving fans at your computer equipment. If not fed, they will die. Dead gibbons attract undesirable creatures and authorities.

The best way, as I’ve found out, is to design a case for the computer equipment that uses the natural laws of physics to effectively deflect all heat particles away from the computer equipment using a simple curved surface and common materials. Please follow along as I outline the steps required to build this, unarguably, perfect computer case.

    I got an idea You could also use this case for skateboarding! The velocity of polyurethane cylinders is inversely proportional to computer heat. Try it!

  2. 2 nowax

    yeah dude

    hehe

  3. 3 Mom

    I am awestruck and speechless!

    Simply the most retarted thing ive ever seen

  5. Amazing. Truly amazing.

  6. 6 ki ki

    very cool !!!
    bit big for my flat…
    but…. where are the built in the built in speakers and lights/neons??

    have you thought of overclocking your pc to see if your cooling system can handle the extra heat?

  7. 7 Bren

    Yes, hello. I’m from the QC unit and I’ll be needing to schedule an appointment to verify the heat particle containment, as well as to verify that this “coping” is actually an appropriate finish material. I await your reply.

  8. 8 nosaJ

    Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these.

  9. 9 wax

    fucking beautiful! congrats on attaining enlightenment. :)

  10. now that you have implemented the case, i reccomend the frontside air cooling system upgrade.

    You should have gone with a Mac…
    Windows causes too many crashes….

  13. 13 TCPW

    Check the pics again. He’s not using Windows; he’s running RedHat.

  14. 14 Gaz

    I’m so doing that… mad props.

    Nice linux. You would get wireless keyboard.

    Nice Subaru WRX. You have moonroof on Wrx? Where you found that place for install/mod? Thanks.

  16. 16 Fire Marshall Bill

    Hell there,

    This is your local fire marshall, you are not zoned for that heat particle containment unit, but i can let it slide with the donation of your WRX in the driveway

    late barney

  18. 18 Elvisjay

    OK. I’m in. Where can I get the complete plans?

  19. nice.

    now, how about a shopping list?

    Ironically, it’s spelt ‘retarded’. It’s a common error made by retards.

    Ironically, it’s spelled “spelled.” It’s a common error made by retards.

  22. 22 Bart

    Hi. Looks great. Maybe you should sell the idea to titus rollsport?-)

    http://www.titus.de

    best regards…

  23. 23 Pete

    Spelt & spelled are correct. The -ed ending is more common in American English

  24. I’m sorry. But makes no sense… I guess I am too practical. I can’t make the leap with you.

    But, I will give you that the implementation was on the money.

  25. 25 lol

    FOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    have you got the mini ramp plans? looks like a nice transition.

  27. cool it looks like a scate board ramp

  28. wwbbma n: “have you got the mini ramp plans? looks like a nice transition.”

    There is no reason, what-so-ever to use plans. This is something the people who are selling them want you to think, but it’s unnecessary. Just look at how he built it and you’ll know how to build one. The only other thing you’ll need is to know how to cut the transition into the plywood. For this just play with different radiuses until you find one you like. For something like what he did here you’d probably want a radius somethere in the 4-6 foot range.

  29. I actually used Rick Dahlen’s free halfpipe plans, though I modified the plans a bit. And to be accurate, this is more like a mini ramp (though Rick’s calls it a halfpipe). Good plans though – better than some of the ones people sell: http://www.rickdahlen.com/hpplans/plans.html

    How lame. This shows a total lack of understanding of basic thermodynamics of heat particles. While appearing to work, the real result is transconductance of heat particles through the ether to the viewer of the article, thus producing giggles. Any first year physics gibbon could have told you that. Giggles are transmitted by the basic principle of thermohydrodynamics away from the computer.
    Good to see you are wearing a helmet to protect you from heat particle impact.
    Take care…

    Wow this is just too cool!

    What was the total cost of this project excluding PC/Monitor?

    Autoversicherungen

  32. 32 Bob

    You have a real future in writing grant proposals to get government funding. Throw in a few heat transfer equations from a thermodynamics text and you’ll be rolling in cash.

    What’s with the sniper rifle?

  34. 34 Brandon Domenico

    i love your ramp!! What did you use as the second layer of it. Pictures 16 and 17 are extremely different. The texture of the wood looks smoother.
    Please Respond

  35. Cool, i and my friend are also skateboarders and casemodders :P

  36. 36 gothicskater

    nice ramp can i like build the same thing or some shi-……stuff like that?

  37. Nice job!
    oh and gothicskater, the simple fact that you used the word cuss means you are an idiot. Please, do us all a favor and step away from the keyboard for a few years

  38. 38 Angel

    hey guy
    its perfect
    i love it ;D
    thx guy
    bye bye and very kisses ;D

  39. 39 Trash

    Nice ramp! The one question I have is where are the “loud-enough to overpower the skateboarding sounds” speakers? Nice idea and great implementation though!

  40. 40 da man in da hood

    that is awsome it would be cool if you could send mee detailed instructions on how to make it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

  41. 41 sk8 mess

    your half pipe idea is cool man. You should send me this idea. Dye your hair red and diarrhea, you will look like a toilet, cool MAN!!!

  42. 42 assotomic

    dood do do do i was drivin a chevy and i felt kind heavy (Chorus:) diarrhea diarrhea!!!!!!!
    i gotta go poop but ilove diarrhea bye avd keep up the poop man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  43. 43 sir mikey

    Dude, you should install this inside the curve on the ramp (near the top), and use it for playing skateboarding media (videos, etc.), possibly while skateboarding (if you can do two things at once like that, I would prolly fall on my ass).

  44. 44 poo

    its good but michael how much did it all cost im wondering if i can afford for home :)
