    I like the idea but the watertemp. barly changes. I would implant 1 or 2. 1 for the radiator and 1 after or something like that. Altough I think even then there will be only a Delta of 3-4 degreas.

    And you have to be carefull with epoxy indeed. I've heard many stories that it came lose after a while.
    In all of it's glory!

    I am not sure why, if we had a tight joint to start with, we would have to worry about leakage. I would think that the epoxy would be totally inert and last forever. We have given some thought to trying an acrylic bathroom type caulk. The idea being that we could always remove the sensors from the caulk if we wanted to. Epoxy is so permenant!

    Isn't the whole idea of this website to see the work of people who have gone "over the top" working on their computers?

    Just wait...the boy and I have only just begun!! :D:D

    Background info update:

    To start with, I just wanted to clear a rumour that I heard going around.

    1. He has NOT done away with me yet! I'm still alive and kicking, though his latest attempt came darn near to starving me to death! He sent me to the local torture specialist (a.k.a. orthodontist), and affixed to my mouth their latest torture device (braces). Luckily, the specialist wasn't very attentive, and left one molar top and bottom on the right side of my mouth that I can still chew with! I will shortly be releasing a list of the foods that can be eaten with two teeth.

    In other news, we've decided that in addition to the computer, we will be modding my head, to go along with the braces. We're planning to include 2 250GB harddrives, a Creative speaker system, as well as a Nvidia GTS Video Card. We will be watercooling the setup, with contact points being 1) My rear molars, 2) the GTS, 3) My incisors, and 4) The CPU.
    The radiator will be located on the bridge of my nose. We're going to have a Blue/Green light scheme, highlighting my toungue and chin, and a built in radio/TV setup using my braces as an antenna!

    Ok, more Pics! First off, heres a pic of our current 20+4 tool (thats useless)

    If you know what the problem is, or even have any ideas, we're of course all ears!

    Next, its time to talk Power Tools! Get excited folks, our first official surgery took place on Sunday!

    We needed to cut A hole in the top of our case for our CrystalFontz, so our first step was dressing the patient in Painters tape to prevent any needless scratching! With that done, we got the measurements, and made our markings.

    My father was the surgeon this time around (im too smart to play with power tools) XD. He got out of it with all 10 fingers... but the case wasnt so lucky. We cut a bit far widthwise, but it's an easy thing to fix(just cover the excess hole with black plastic).

    The result? Succcess! We relied on the slight lip of the screen to hold the display up, because the chip was glued and soldered to the faceplate, rather then bolted as we'd originally hoped. If it was bolted, we would have cut a smaller hole, and bolted it through the case itself. As is, the display fits quite snugly, and can take quite a bit of beating! Heres a view from the underside:


    The most important part of the procedure?

    The Taco Dip that fed my father while we worked! :p

    Well, that about wraps up this post, stick around for the next update!
