Best use for dead thermaltake

Big_Baller · Jun 28, 2003

I had a crystal orb die after about 2 months so I found a good use for part of it

The pencil sharpener had been overheating after doing about 10 pencils in a row so I figured it needed some vents. Works great now!

haha thats um...quite interesting.

At least thermaltake stuff is good for something!

(maybe this needed to be alternative modding but i could be wrong)

Big_Baller · Jun 28, 2003

Ah I bet it should be over there. I just saw general cooling and figured it fit. I resized it for the 56kers

Btw you should try OCing the pencil sharpener...

Frodo Baggins · Jun 28, 2003

man, have you ran any burn-in tests?

I dunno how fast that rig is, but I bet mine can take yours any day

I hate those pencil sharpeners... always overheating...

CrystalMethod · Jun 28, 2003

That's a little too much. You probably could have gotten away with a blue orb.

This is actually a good idea. My pencil sharpener overheats pretty easily. All I've got are two Thermalright SK6+'s, though. Looks like I know what to do with them now

Very Creative, Nice job.

Sterculus · Jun 28, 2003

Hehe, nice mod. How far you got that sharpener overclocked?

TheGr8s1 · Jun 28, 2003

Have u tried sharpening 11 pencils in a row yet? What are the temps? Benchmarks damnit!

nosilverman · Jun 28, 2003

I bet you could over-volt the motor and make it run faster!

A Boston pencil sharpener! ha ha You must be crazy! I can't believe you bought into all the hype. A Wilson sarpener can grind circles around a Boston in #2 pencils per minute, and thats without any volt mods or special cooling! Cool Idea!

... right... ....

I was thinking about picking up one of these Boston sharpeners for my almost-finished pencil sharpening rig. Would you recommend it? Should I water cool it? What's its IPCM (Inches of Pencils Chewed per Minute) rating?

altec · Jun 28, 2003

ROFL, looks good.

Ben721 · Jun 28, 2003

Throw some lighting in there.

Looks good though.

Big_Baller · Jun 29, 2003

Mabye I will get some decals, plexi glass and some cold cathoid tubes! And phase change is comming very soon. The baby is overclocked at 140,000 rpm right now. I can do 1452.6 pencils in under 2 minutes. I know guys who do more but I am modest.

What can I tell you, Boston is the way to go if you can blow the dough.

tio · Jun 29, 2003

Ah crap! I knew I should have gone with the Boston! I was too hastey and instead of saving up a little longer for one, I went out and bought one of those sharpening kits (the Pencair Hydrosharp). I'm only getting 83 000 RPM right now.
