space heater.
in august.
on a 100f degree weather.

Fucking right, friend.  This Texas draught is killing me, many many weeks straight of pure 100% HEAT, (no clouds) 100+ days.  WHY DIDN'T I DISCOVER BITCOIN DURING THE WINTER?
Luckily, i can tolerate this houston weather. i can handle up to 110-115 before i get fried.

winter, not so much, even it's only 40-50f.  Undecided

I live in Canada and my place of work has been reaching 120F average, it's been as hot as 148.2F a couple weeks ago (set new record of 118F outside (I work in a powder coating shop during the day with an oven the size of 2 cubevans running at 400C all day)

Needless to say, on that 148.2F day, I was given the choice of whether I felt "safe" working that day or not. My answer was obviously a "Fuck no!"

I use my dedicated PC for mining, browsing the net, emails etc, this takes a toll on my mhash/s. I am thinking about picking up a $35 ATI 5450 and use that as my main gpu, make a dummy plug for my 5830, insert my 5830 in my second pcix x16 slot. This way, the 5450 will take the load off of my 5830.

Just an idea if you are on one pc and do not want your mining gpu to take a toll for doing gpu accelerated stuff.

let you play minesweeper

act as a heater

blow hot air at you

act as a paperweight, coaster, or bookshelf

lull you to sleep with its hum

act as a conversation starter to anyone who dares enter your mineshaft
