I can't really tell you where to go as the acropolis was probably the best touristy sight I saw when I was there.
Do NOT go to delphi. It is pretty much a huge waste of time, I have seen better ruins off the side of the road in Lebanon. Though there is a small museum there that is not too bad.

Another plus is a solar heat collector is much more efficient than a PV panel. And, you can store the heat much more easily than storing (large amounts of) electricity -- molten salt seems to be the thing for this. Comparing the efficiency of solar thermal collectors and PV cells directly really is...

You have noise + vibration + potential drive failure. I would not want to run 6 drives without some form of raid (most likely raid 5). the heating situation can be somewhat alleviated by moving 2 or more of the drives to 5.25" bays with passive hard drive coolers, and if you have a psu with a rear i...

Wikipedia says there are 2,602,469 barrels from oil shale in North America; I don't think we'll be running out any time soon. If it was indeed 2,602,469 barrels you would be in big trouble; that is (eight times) less than a single day of US consumption. You are very correct. I'm off by a factor of ...

It costs about $45 to $55 dollars to extract a barrel of oil from oil shale and with oil trading at $60+ it may become viable in the near future. IIRC there is more oil shale in the united states then there is easily accessible oil in the middle east (by an order of magnitude or so). At least that's...

Why would you want the air to flow straight through your ninja? Fully laminar flow doesn't sound that helpful here. More interaction between the air and the heatsink is what you seek (sure you don't want recirculation), some more turbulence could be beneficial. I could be completely wrong, my fluid ...

I would be surprised there are many axial computer fans that could create conditions necessary for choked flow; certainly none that we're interested in. Instead of an arbitrary hole, why not mount the fan to a heatsink and measure the difference at the end of the tube. This would probably work best ...

Perhaps we are lucky that most utility companies don't bill residences if their power factor goes a bit askew. However, if mass use of something with a PF of ~.5 (without correction) was required they better have a law that requires at least a decent PFC. Also, how are CFL's effected by ROHS? I'd th...

All aluminum would not be as good as all steel. The former takes 4 times the energy to produce an equivalent weight of the latter (say 1kg).

I'm confused as to why you'd choose this over a nas enclosure or setting up something similar to rsyncwith a remote server.
It would be interesting if it were ~$150-200, with a power brick instead.
