I’m waiting for a new motherboard to arrive, so in the meantime, thought it should stop putting off a case fabrication idea I had and just do it.
I live and work in a tiny house I built on the back of a 69 dodge truck, so space is limited. Running multiple gpus flat out also creates a lot of heat in a small space, great in winter, not so much in summer. I have a portable aircon that i run outside, as it’s too loud when I’m on the phone. This is connected to the house via a 6” duct that pops up from the floor.
My plan is to run the aircon directly into an enclosure, cool the pc, then exhaust from the enclosure to cool the rest of the house- aircon is more than enough for my little space, so air coming out after cooling the computer will still be cold.
It will also cut pump/fan noise I hope.
Step 1 was dusting off the cnc plasma. After many false starts, i remembered why I stopped using it, the plasma cutter claims to be 15 amp, but will pop the breaker at any more than about 1/2 power. I really need to put it on a 32 amp circuit, but the compressor is already running on that, so after much juggling of cut speed vs amps, i got it to work.
Also 3d printing 3d hilbert curve tiles that I will spray with sound deadener and stick inside the case.
It will be way overbuilt, as i’m just recycling scrap that I have laying about from previous projects, but won’t need to move once its done.
