The whole point I'm saying is, regardless of aftermarket parts, we shouldn't be buying *anything* to cool our expensive cards down, or making them quiet. Cases are open closed and this should be tested in development. You don't buy a car then have to upgrade the fan and radiator ... Its just pathetic.
I would rather drop,get stolen, a console than a 3k laptop. Try upgrading the graphics card on that every couple years? Cheap.... Not.
I think I'll try thishttp://lifehacker.com/5851902/turn-a-low+powered-laptop-into-a-gaming-machine-with-an-external-video-card-dock  |

Bitcoin?!?!? BAHAHAH! That Virtual Fake Economy which could be shut down at any moment like turning off a light bulb since it runs on.. oh... power? I'd rather do what civilization has sustainability done for thousands of years: buy Gold and Silver as when the sh!t really hits the fan thats what will only have value. Bitcoin is a modern un-sustainable super-highly vulnerable fad economy that won't last long because it relies too much on modern technology: which is badly fragile.
No I make money off my PC based on, well lets see... REAL WORLD WORK EXPERIENCE like virtualizing, SCCM, OS deployment, Wise/Installshield Packaging, Scripting/Coding, SQL, Server2012.. shall I continue? hehe.. Nope.. PC/laptops are for those who do REAL WORK in a REAL ECONOMY. I don't have time for stupid fads that MIGHT make me anywhere the coin I can make doing things legit. |

Well hope someday high-end CPU/GPUs would just need passive cooling but, yeah know, kinda hard I thought to go against something called, oh.. PHYSICS?  |

Forgive me, I assumed you do bit coin mining. I was wrong, and I am glad I was wrong 
PS. When shit hit's the fan you'll want water, food and medicine (and probably a gas mask and a blanket). You can't eat gold and no, I won't give you my food/water for your gold nugget.
PPS. I doubt you want plastic car radiator unless you want it melt down in an instant.
3D printers aren't as awesome as they are marketed to be. They just print overpriced plastic.

You can't bargain with Food/Water like you can with Gold/Silver/Seed (yeah seeds kuzz agribusiness will be fcuked also and its up to us all to grow it or perish..). Food/Water is tradable community and Gold/Silver/Seeds can buy LOTS of it and Power if you can also protect it. [sorry.. major off-topic post-apocalyptic rant]
Yeah no Bitcoin BS.. FCUK THAT AND ROTATE... JACKTARDOM at its finest. |

Well, I don't see any use for gold in ruined world. I also tend to think that most people are over "the shiny things", save for blacks and stupid women.
tbh, I'd rather hoard plutonium and uranium. Those can produce energy. Gold can't do shit. |

| Uhmm.. Gold/Silver won't well, lets see... KILL YOU?!?!? Both Plutonium and uranium do jack shiet unless you are an expert and can control those elements (good luck there). Read up on whats valuable after all hell happens: Gold/Silver for bartering/staving off gov't officials from re-possessing the house YOU THOUGHT you owned when money is worthless. Food/Water is all good of course to survive but you need more to trade with as long as you can.. protect them from thieves. |

well, we obviously imagine this thing differently. You see, in post apocalyptic world I imagine, there IS NO HOUSE, it's rubble and you have to build a new one. Those radioactive elements won't kill me if handled properly (led casing, concrete etc) and I am not the that is going to build a reactor, I am just going to barter with it to those that can build a reactor and have the know-how's because the old ones (reactors) are gone.
I would also hoard solar panels and rechargeable batteries  |

Your soo out of luck if its an X-Class Flare or EMP, bro. Technology won't work unless it was pre-hardened and good luck there: only military has that resolved years ago.
You are asking wayy too much for what will be a basic down-to-earth struggle. When power goes out: last thing you want to be is a hundred kms within where a Nuke Plant once stood. |
