john Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 My home desktop has blue fans for drawing in cool air and a red fan for pushing out the warm Oh Dear Ric, you ordered all blue really didn't you and just one red one came and instead of making a fuss you said you would keep it and didn't deliberately order them that way?
Ric_ Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Oh Dear Ric, you ordered all blue really didn't you and just one red one came and instead of making a fuss you said you would keep it and didn't deliberately order them that way? Every stoopid piece of kit you buy nowadays comes with a blue fan... 2 came with my Coolermaster case, 1 on my Xalman GPU cooler and 1 on my Xalman CPU cooler. In addition, another 2 non-LED fans came with the case but I needed one more and Scan had sold out of non-LED fans so I went for a red Coolermaster one and procededed to move all the fans about to get that arrangement! I've looked into 'disabling' the LEDs... it isn't possible At least none of them flash!
Arcath Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 my pc has 2 huge fans on the side the glow blue but atleast they GLOW its not a bright light, the LEDs on the fan controller for them on the other hand blind everyone to say that the fans are on
glennda Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 the case i got when i made my machine has 4 different colour leds in each corner of the fan giving a twisted look to the light
amvc Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Here's a bit of a tangent, but it's on the LED theme. Get a digital camera (a camera phone will do) and point it at the transmitter end of a remote control. Activate the remote control. Report back with your results. Good, eh? Thats how i test the batteries in remotes

Ok, we will let you off, myself and Mike were worried that you had actually spent a lot of time planning and thinking about it and made it like a teaching resource My case doesn't have flashing LEDs in it, just lots of blue ones and a fish tank on the side of it

tmcd35 Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 What are you all complaining about. Nothing wrong with a few lights on your 'puter! http://www.thegalleryofoldiron.com/705A.JPG

Ric_ Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 eeew that looks skanky! It's OK... I found one with blue LEDs! Custom PCs by Puget Systems; Mineral Oil Submerged Computer
john Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 It's OK... I found one with blue LEDs! Custom PCs by Puget Systems; Mineral Oil Submerged Computer At least that looks like clear mineral oil rather than guey sunflower oil. But the blue LEDs do make it all the better
Ric_ Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 At least that looks like clear mineral oil rather than guey sunflower oil. But the blue LEDs do make it all the better Have you seen what they used for the oil? I think that they would receive far more kudos if they'd called it the 'Horse Laxative Cooled PC'!
john Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Have you seen what they used for the oil? I think that they would receive far more kudos if they'd called it the 'Horse Laxative Cooled PC'! LOL Agreed on that as I didn't spot that bit just saw it was clear so thought it would be mineral oil rather than how they sourced it! hehe
Arcath Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 eeew that looks skanky! it looks like they used the un-document feature of this setup, deep fat fryer
mac_shinobi Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 It's OK... I found one with blue LEDs! Custom PCs by Puget Systems; Mineral Oil Submerged Computer It has a similiar effect to moths to the purple light / fire ??
