I've got a 4gb 'cuda in my SS2 - I can't wait to get a big external box to
shove it in, because it feels like I've got a sun in there (no pun
intended). Wait a second... Sun - sun... And we always thought it was
an acronym for Stanford University Network... nope, it's a marketable
name for an incredible heat-concentrator! There's a hack for you -
instead of running the oil furnace to heat water for the radiators, just
build a little heat exchanger out of a pizza box - run your water pipe
through it, and you've solved a whole host of problems:
heat in the box
heat in the house
savings on elex/oil
security (once your machine is part of the building's piping,
nobody will try to steal it)
