Loki Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 very interesting Bookmarked, looks like i got another project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingwray Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Seems a bit pointless to me but then again if you have too much time on your hands it certainly would kill some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlit Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Hmm... Not particularly impressed by the overall mod but I did like the creative phone motor/pen/melted plastic pump idea, very imaginative... I wonder what sort of volume that little thing can push though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Yeah the project isn't very practicle. Maybe a mod for a PC because that ugly ass thing on a laptop is very pointless. Laptop is portable and that doesn't seem very portable. as moonlit said though the cell phone motor thign was pretty interesting. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yourmysin Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Who would really want to use a laptop with that type of cooling? Pointless! Unless your using it in a standerd area and have no attention of moving it, it may be usefull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dankiswess Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 You guys are missing the point. Yeah, it's kind of impractical, but you're forgetting the main reason hackers and modders do what they do....because they can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 If you wanted to make it more practical, maybe you could setup a watercooling dock for your laptop? So all you would need to do is put you laptop in it, and it activates water cooling. When its running on battery, mine tends to stay quite cool.

Dankiswess Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I've got a gateway that I installed BSD on, and that thing gets burning hot no matter what Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I've got a Pentium M Ultra Low Voltage in my dell, seems to actually do what the same suggests.Its a tiny laptop but the battery only has about 1hr in it on windows, and 45mins on suse. Its a shame but the size and heat of this thing makes it all worth while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dankiswess Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I've got a Dell D620 from work with a a dual core pentium 2GHz and it's got tons of battery life. (granted I have the big battery for it too!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisiam Posted October 18, 2006 Author Share Posted October 18, 2006 i just have an Hp pavillion sitting around and figured im not taking this to a coffee shop or anything so make it as quiet as possible and good conversation piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I like the docking station idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesstj Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 This is a great idea. My lappy is always way too hot. I am sure there is a way you could make the water cooling more user friendly. To keep it practical you would need to be able to have a heatskin that is connected to the stock cooling system exposed. This way you can hook up your water-cooling on the fly. What if you made a massive heatsink that mounts on the back of your LCD. if you had the right copper tubing hooked up to the CPU heatsink you might be able to passively cool the laptop Kinda like those Zalman cases that go for a grand.

Guest ABC Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 haha 4.5GHz L/T here we go :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartain X Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 would it be a massive battery drainer and on top of that it's it just better to do all your cpu intensive process not on a laptop or a night what it would not matter if it got hot, but i wouldn't mind having a water cooling system on a laptop :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
