| Yes, cooking. Cooling
has been done, and is now so overused, it's passé. In fact, here's
the last cooling project I did. Got it down to almost 20 degrees Celsius,
but lost a cat, 2 fingers on my left hand, and we're still undecided as
to the parakeets, so I decided it was time to go another route.... Featured here is my 17- drive server case, Eheim pump, the Ultra-Kool-Maxi-Frozen-Rad™ radiator along with two Big Mamma Jamma™ 12,200 cfm 12vdc Supr-Blo-Cool-And-Yet-Be-Ever-So-Kwiet™ fans. Notice the Cordless Rechargeable by Harddrive Vibration (CRHV) battery powered Eheim commercial pump. This is a proto-type I acquired somewhere one time I was at some trade show or something... or maybe eBay. |

So, then, having reached the limits of my abilities, I decided
it was time to maybe try another use for all the heat that was being
generated by these awesome new AMD processors. Although the surface
area is entirely too small to cook eggs on directly, I have fashioned
a nice little frying pan and some alternative cooking methods for preparing
some of the most delicious pan fried meals I've ever eaten...road kill
never tasted so good. |

True Underclocking does not require a massive
tower case. In fact, this desktop model makes for the perfect unit. |

Here we're using the extra heat from not only the
CPU, but the AGP Video card (overclocked a mild 700MHz) while playing
a little Unreal Tournament 2003 online. In thirty minutes, it's dinner
for two !! As a general rule of thumb, we've found that for meats 1" thick or more, run the cpu fsb about 20% over for approximately 10 to 15 minutes, turning entrees once, to sear them. Then lower your fsb to about 12% for another 20 minutes per pound of flesh. Season to taste. Don't forget to turn the MHz back down when finished. |

Below is a nice commercial model
that, if you don't have the wherewithal to build your own,
you might want to give some consideration. $125 -$140 range, not including range hood. |
