Misc. hardware hacks
This is a collection of pictures of some cool hardware hacks I have made, which do not deserve an entire section.
SUN Ultra 5 fan modification
No, I'm not going to do watercooling on that Sun workstation, I dont use it enough. To diminish the fan voltage and to add an extra fan to the CPU should be enough
Radiator cleaning by electrolysis
This is the radiator I'm using in my watercooling system. It comes from a car heating, and was very dirty. An acid bath was not enough to clean it so I used electrolysis. Original idea from ginun.com

| Clean water saturated with salt | It works great! |
 |
 |
| Very dirty water after 1 hour at 12V/2A | Radiator in action with a fan duct |
Cpu core and radiator lapping
The goal of this operation is to polish the cpu core to maximize the contact between the cpu and the waterblock.
 |
 |
| XP2000+ CPU and it's waterblock | P1000 sandpaper in action |
 |
 |
| Cpu core polished. Yeah I know there are some scratches | See, water does not corrode CPUs, it still works |
