I've reached the stage in my life where we're considering building a new house. Still not definite, but a possibility. So we're going over those things we've thought about over the years and trying to decide if they merit inclusion in the design. One topic is how we can/should best incorporate compu...

Rockwool huh? An important point, though it sounds like that might be a wee bit more expensive than a regular dryer vent pipe.


I bet once I really have time to look at it the cost will be more than buying a high end htpc premade from Hush or someplace. However, I won't give up yet.

That's what I was thinking: a dryer sized pipe running up through the wall with an inline fan somewhere far away in the attic, and an outlet on the side of the house like a dryer vent. I don't think it would cost the world. The cost of the ducting, fan and a bit of wiring. Mind you, I am a bit cluel...

I've only got as far in my research as tramping around my attic and realizing that my one noisy bathroom fan is a result of the fan and that I'll have to replace that to fix anything. It has what looks like a 4" (or was it 6"? I'll have to check again) pipe venting to the outside wall. I had heard t...

Has anyone thought of connecting a PC to an in house ventilation system? We've got a very noisy bathroom fan, another bathroom with no fan, and a kitchen rangehood which just recycles air ... so we're thinking of ventilation in our house. I was considering a whole house ventilation system (haven't d...

Ha! :D When I got your response I realized my fingers had typed one thing when my mind was thinking another. I had meant, "motherboard". How did you mount the motherboard? Just screw regular brass fittings into the mdf? And the hard drives. I don't know if it applies to thicker bungee cords but I ha...

Pretty Cool! Like many, I've been hashing this idea back and forth from time to time ... thinking about layouts and design for good cooling and quiet.

How did you handle mounting the hard drive?
Did you use any particular resources to help you in deciding on design?

Nice Work!
