Topic: Digital Storm at Micro Center Posted: 25 Jun 2008 at 1:09pm |
Mico Center is currently looking at carrying Digital Storm systems. Our local Micro Center has one of our systems up on display. Everyone is stopping and having a look at this shiny red beast.

"Our local Micro Center has one of our systems up on display"
We currently only have it at one location. We are looking at the response and will move forward from there.
Warm Regards,
Alex

gah dont tell me thats a freaking old, what was it, 350i case?
you need to get a cosmos stacker with red liquid and LEDs as your first impression display out there!!
(and of course, chain it shut and to the table )

That's a 750Si with a red exterior and black interior paint job.
We will be swapping systems every two weeks at that location.
Cheers,
Alex

This beast needs fangs!
Do we have glow in the dark liquid cooling? I don't know if that's even possible.

using the keyboard as reference id say thats a 32 inch display.
Though i agree with ender, whenever i see a computer in sorta an old style square box type deal, i dont get really excited to look at it. Even if it is red. Though having the side panel off is a nice touch.

No need to use glow in the dark... just use a UV cathode lighting kit with something reactive. That's really cool guys. I hope this works out for you. If that turns out to be something they are interested in nationally, that's some really amazing exposure you just can't get any other way than physical presence in a brick and mortar. DSO must be very excited with this.

If you could get your hands on some UV reactive tubing, the coolant wouldn't have to change.... |

good point tyler, i like that idea
the only thing i could think to add to it would be adding something to the coolant so you could acually see it moving through the system... im sure that would be a little difficult to come up with

Mix a color maybe? I suppose it would mix into the entire stream though.

i was thinking of something more like... almost like a mucus-like material. i dont know the first thing about chemistry, i couldnt venture a guess to how hard that would be to integrate

If it's just a working demo... how about using both mineral oil and water based coolants? Premix the water coolant with antimicrobial wotever they add... and one dye. Then add another dye to the mineral oil. Run em in the same system. You would have an odd streaming effect... mebbe red and black... I dunno. I would think that would work, but I'm not sure just how the pump and reservoir would react to the mix. The issue of varied viscosities may mess it up. I'm pretty sure you could find a water soluble thickener to change the viscosity of the water coolant and still have it remain stable throughout the potential temperature range that it may see. If you don't know off hand, perhaps a local chemistry teacher could assist.

Nice idea. I live in Pa and the closest one is about 1hr away in St. Davids, Pa...near Villanova University. Lots of "rich" people in that area, they see one of those machines they will eat it up !!
I'm new to DS, i have my first one being built and i can't wait !! I gave Alienware the boot, its now DS baby !!

This clock projects the time, date, or temp on the wall or ceiling http://www.liangdianup.com/clocks_1.htm some people call
it a ceiling clock but I call it a digital projection clock. I got the black one because at the time that was the only color they had. But now they have them in black and also in white. |
