The hobbys of tube rolling and overclocking have finally merged! All you people who can't decide whether you like to tinker with computers or tinker with tube amps, this is your lucky day.

Unbelievable. I want to put together a computer around it. Got to be REAL careful it's vented properly with good air flow...

Makes your head spin doesn't it. I was going to build one of those little alloy cubes up next, but now??

Guess you could tell how many volts your pumping through by the glow from your tube.

radrd, wrong forum. You should have put it in the "Weird, impractical and just plain silly" forum!

Ignoring for a moment the extra heat generated and the probable requirement for even more active cooling than a P4 system already needs, what about
- danger - high voltage
- power supply requirements
- interference inside noisy PC case
- craptacular source generated by the PC to begin with!

Aopen are just crazy. But they just might make money with it.
