I went looking for a resource to answer a question and stumbled upon this:


Well ... algae won't be an issue or freezing temps.

I wasn't all that drawn in and almost moved on but by the time I was half way thru, was LMAO .... I wound up watching his videos for about 2.5 hours before I got back to answering guy. Maybe I'm easily amused but the the fan mail videos had me and the **kids** (22 and 19) cracking up .

You'll improve cooling efficiency of the system if you add some O.J. to the coolant.

If you're character is having problems walking/shooting straight, graphics looking fuzzy/warbly...... Maybe you'll see some bright colored chunky-stuff suddenly wash the screen...... This would explain it.

Now I'm wondering if Tequila would be better than Vodka.

Russian standard is a decent drop and not too expensive, so head down to your local off-licence and pick up a bottle or three...

Can't ethanol deteriorate certain rubbers and plastics? Isn't doing this just asking for an eventual leak or failure unless you're very careful with the components you choose to use?

If ya thought of it as technical, watch another video, it's parody. Ya gotta watch some other video's ... he did one on his fan mail ... it starts in a fair sized room with 80% of the floor covered with boxes up to 6 feet high. He opens boxes with stuff fans send him from all over the world .... Apparently he is is big on mayonez

I'd expect there's one with a quote "CPU reached 50C in GTA5, because this LED system is synchronized!"

Vodka Part II ... Hi fills system with Stoli .... check in and see if it improved game play. His comments while playing the game re priceless

You know, ethanol also has a lower heat capacity than water.
I'd be concerned about hitting the flashpoint. Long term use causing water to evaporate out would effectively make it a time bomb.
Boiling point of ethanol is lower than water as well. It's likely to evaporate faster than the water.

I was hoping for a single pass system. A system where, while gaming, you have to drink the vodka after it passes through the system. Would most likely fry the system though when the user passes out and fails to add more vodka to the inlet tank.

The user would be drunk before getting in much actual gaming.
