that is an awesome setup.....but i am with you on this Andrew....water and electrical components dont mix :)

water cooling is only dangerous when you use water ;P

there are proper coolants available that are non conductive, as well as all-in-one premade units like the corsair cpu cooler found here

http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_p...oducts_id=12235

which i have used on several of my recent builds - theyre awesome...

otherwise, you can completely immerse your components in an inert solution, such as here :

one of the earliest examples of this they used canola oil - which obviously isnt great to get on components as its thick and a pain to remove off components - the proper coolants evaporate like alcohol once components are removed from the solution bath

its good stuff, but way expensive for the most part

Thats a sexy piece of hardware I reckon... pity about the price.

Thats a sexy piece of hardware I reckon... pity about the price.

quite pretty but there is a good reason the cost is so high, and that is the atx connector backplate at the rear of the motherboard - sealing that section off to stop leaks is pretty difficult however these guys make their own gaskets and use a brace to keep the pressure on the case

incidentally some mainframe/datacentre computers are 100% immersion watercooled because of the huge amount of heat distributed from all the cpu cores

gonna buy that very corsair water cooler next fortnight - hopefully this coming summer it'll be sufficient to keep my system totally cool

Firefox is giving me the shits.

Go do add this theme: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/64006/

Tells me i am using 3.0.8, go to help, about firefox, says version 3.6.4. Tried restarting, no good. wtf? do i uninstall and reinstall?

Some help required lads, my sis tried to connect to the net the other day only to have firefox chuck up a message that it was configured to use a proxy server that was not allowing connections or some jazz.

I went into internet options and selected 'auto-detect proxy setting for this network' so i can go on the net, just wondering if I should leave it on that or will it be (more) vulnerable to attacks/people fking with my pc, or could that even be the case as to why the error came up in the first place?

Only tick it if she's running a proxy server... which I highly doubt unless the PC is in a business location.

THat option on or off wont change anything to do with people attacking it.

Excuse me ladies and gents.

It's not so much computer oriented.

Do any of you know how to make my LG BD560 blu ray player region free? I remember doing it for my old LG dvd player years ago. It was some code I had to enter in.

I am having trouble finding anything about unlocking the region code on the net.

Any help would be fantabulous. PM me if ya can.

Saves cluttering up this thread with my useless shiznit

    • If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.
    • Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)  
    • Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...
    • I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...
    • Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
