Tweakers bedenken altijd wel iets leuk met rondliggende computers. Het volgende is wel erg orgineel: je pc gebruiken om alcohol te destilleren. Helaas geen vervanging voor waterkoeling: de testmachine crashte een paar keer tijdens de proef:
About 10 minutes after startup I started to notice some condensation on the inside of the flexible tubing, at about the same time I noticed the heating chamber was very hot. Another couple of minutes and I witnessed the first drip of clear fluid from into the collection bottle.
I ran the experiment for about 1hour before finally shutting down, I had needed to reboot the machine twice in that time (due to over heating) and decided to call it a day after Linux failed to restart (at the third reboot attempt).
The Collector gaf de tip.
