For those of you keeping track - I have started the overclock and could use some help. Every time in the past I have tried to OC a CPU, it is either unstable or not worth it. So far I have the 5400+ to 3Ghz just by flipping up the CPU multi from 14x to 15x. Ive got a thread started in the AMD CPU's section...

Danger is: most fog machines use cold water mist/vapor. Condensation might be a risk.

That would be the safer alternative.

Smasher: I am going to look into it within the hour.

You're thinking of a humidifier?

The fog machine i'm talking about vaporizes glycerin or glycol by heating the liquid until it vaporizes into a 'fog'. (due to the low boiling point I guess).

The fog is probably not good to breathe in a confined space over a long period of time but would be fine to just test airflow.

Not very different than a wind tunnel test where they use fog/smoke to show how aerodynamic an object is.

Most cheap fog machines run on water. Better ones may use some other fluid in the nebulization chamber, but I am dubious.

Humidifiers on the other hand output a non-visible water mist of even higher humidity.

Alrighty well i've never seen a fog machine run off just water...that would be a "cool mist humidifier" - just sprays a mist of water....you can't make fog/smoke out of just water, if you can it's called steam, not fog.

Anyway....[/end off-topic discussion]

Sorry Smasher

Yeah it was pretty small. I passed on the case to a fellow OCN member here to mod further to his likings. I used the case after this project for maybe 4 months then got tired of looking at it/working with it and decided it must go.
