Moving on....

I have thought long and hard about why I am into this cooling hobby and finding out the returns are not justified. I began water cooling originally 4+ years ago so I could overclock my SETI computer to run all out. After building 3-4 more computers over the years dedicated to projects like Distributed Folding and SETI I had a reason to water cool. Being I am a DIY type of guy I bought the tools needed to make my own water blocks. The hobby progressed into a challenge to make the blocks better.

Now I find myself given up on Distributed Computing and my real job is taking off with more and more traveling I just have no reason to continue this hobby. My gaming rig is completely Air Cooled and I like it that way. I have it setup nice and quiet. No need for water cooling. I have a half dozen designs I have yet to make but I just don't want to do them. No real reason to. Not to mention my mills in peices with no ETA on getting it together. I build several computers a year for people localy for just simple stuff and all out performance and not one of them has water cooling or needs it.

Anyway I find myself moving on to other things and back to things I used to do and enjoyed. Hey, might even restore a personal life, who knows... I got $3.50/hr raise at work as they seem to like they way I get things done. Those same techniques I use at work and in "real"life I use on the net but seem not to work out so well. People on the net seem to be more sensitive to things.

My website will be removed soon. Whenever they get around to closing the account. All my pics posted will be gone as well. Sorry for the very few that used them.

Anyway to the delight of most I will not be posting here much anymore. I spend way to much time here as it is and find myself bitching more than helping anymore anyway. When I do try to help it seems to not go so well.

Anyway, take care.
