Crystall -- thing temp controller????
 
Is anybody interestet to buy it??

I'm making myself one almost idetical controller with more features on it (http://forum.oc-forums.com/vb/showth...threadid=45921)

I have implentet some more nice features, but I'm NOT going to say what it is this time.

Edit: Does anybody off you got any nice ides I can add to it?

it going to have a internal locking curcuit, wich lock the cabinet, so nobody can open it, it have a RS232 port, so it can comunicate with the computer, if sombody tries to move the computer, theres goes of a alarm
What good will this do? If someone is going to get into your comp that will not really do much good being you will not be around to hear the alarm? Locks are easily broken on comps, hell they will just take the whole thing and pop it at home. And will the alarm work with the power plug removed?

Sounds like a baby/kid proofing is about all that's good for.

Other than that I wouldn't buy it because I have no use for any of that exept the auto shut off at a certain temp, but I am already about to make one of those. Fan monitoring is pretty useless being I use my self made voltage controller to turn them down to where they are quite and don't really care about RPM. But for someone who cannot do that by themselfs it maybe appealing.

I like the PWM (Pulse Width Modulator) for fan control, but it is really way more than you need to control a computer fan, but it is probably the most effecient.

AND before anyone can tell you if they would buy one you need to show a final working version that looks professional. otherwise you will not get much feedback on it.

May be weed out the not so usefull stuff and stick to what enthusists will actually use ,to cut cost, being they will be the main market. Fan control, thermal control, temp sensors.

Good Luck. :)

heh, I was a little dubious about that too, I think you'd be better sticking to fan control, temp monitoring, shut off

Have anyone said/read that it's stopps when the plugg is removed???


I'm often at LAN, and i'm worryed that somone can steal my hardware when i'm slepping. If the persone/thif moves the tower there goes (can) a alarm and people carrien around on a very loud tower is very rare and I belive most people would stopp him.


One question, what does you think off the 1 wire temperature sensors? I used that one in the first version, but I now use resistors to controll the temperature.

Brad 03-11-2002 02:19 PM

yeah I guess that in lans it could be quite handy, I wonder how long the batteries would last to keep the alarm going

No, no one said it would shut off if the power was removed, BUT no one said it would keep working either, that is why it was in the form of a QUESTION.;)

Sensors don't matter what form they are in as long as they are accurate and useable. The flat ones are probably the most usefull.

If you can make it with the software interface as this one:

Then you will have something. That one has the PWM in it aswell witch I really like, but not really needed.

You may also consider doing two versions. One with the alarm stuff and one without. Being most people will not use the alarm, why make them pay extra for it.

An alarm at a LAN? Why would U need that, no wait..... rephrase, Why would I need that. Im a pretty big guy, I think I am all the protection my rig needs :)

I pitty the FOO who messes wit my RIG!

pHaestus 03-12-2002 12:34 PM

I think the alarm is for waking you up so you can go kick ass fixittt.
