Let's made a PC-base metal detector with usb interface !!!

Without looking at the nitty gritty that Ground Exper looks awesome, I had always wondered about graphically interpreting the signal by adding coil position tracking and then plotting singnal intensity. It would not be particularly high resolution but would be usefull to miss big thing like cans etc.

Hi Mikebg,

I thought you are making a joke!
But this is the "Ultimate End of Greedlab"(c)(r)(tm). This is the THERMO NUCLEAR MELT-DOWN!!!!

BTW, I had my own PC THERMAL MELT-DOWN. *LOL*
Nice find. I like the technology.
Cheers,
Aziz

It happens. Therefore I install TThrotle on my computers, see http://efmer.eu/boinc/
It both monitors temperature, and apply temperature throttling tasks (e.g. a task that does nothing for allotted time, therefore cools a processor) so even in serious dust buildup keeps your processor and a GPU under a target temperature. It also makes sense to limit the temperature at which a computer switches off in Bios - if you have one.

Don't go for green disks, they are hoax, and they are slow.

If possible go for the PSU with the largest and the slowest fan possible. Those are more quiet too, and pick less dust on their blades.

I myself am lurking the PC market lately. There are a few items difficult to come by, say a good passive cooled GPU.

Oh yeah!, I have checked my ATX power supply module. It went up in smoke and I have seen some parts being totally damaged and burnt.
I hope I can repair my PC with a brand new power supply module. Well, if other things didn't get screwed of course.

PS: Don't forget to clean your power supply module from time to time. Mine wasn't for a decade or longer.

Its ok I already know the answer its 42

Aziz its the start of the THERMONUCLEAR war somebody spiked your power line , they are on to you

I'll be online now and then...

Hell, thank God for that! I was thinking there for a minute that I'd have to fall back to trying to stir up Davor if you were to disappear!!

Very nice. It's soooo silent now with my Netbook (hello!, anybody out there?). I should buy a green PC with low power consumption this time.

BTW, my ATX power supply section has melted down with smoke generation during watching a movie. I have opened the part and it was full of black dust. Cleaned and connected back: dead. I hope, that the (SATA) hard disks weren't affected.

Backups? What's that? *LOL*
I'll be online now and then but all the projects will be delayed.

Cheers,
Aziz

Hi all,

I had an "ultimate PC melt-down"(c)(r)(tm) with heavy smoke generation. My PC is totally kaput and it will take some time to get a new PC. I am posting this from my Netbook.
Let the AEGPF know it please.
Cheers,
Aziz
PS: Damn it! I was very close to calculate the mother of all questions. Another 10 million years to go...

Hopefully you've not just learnt the importance of backups.
