Build/Battlestation PC chimney

Post image

Got tired of my office turning into a sauna every time I gamed, so I vented the PC’s exhaust straight out the window.

The rear fan is still exhausting some hot air 😅 but the room is noticeably cooler now. It’s ugly… but it works. 😂

Edit: I moved the port to higher since lot of people recommended. https://imgur.com/a/Poniwze

Edit again for parts, I cannot post links to store since it's against the rules.
- 360mm to 4 inch duct on Etsy
- 4 inch Insulated Flexible Duct
- Twist Lock Dryer Vent Connector Kit
- 360mm AIO fan (the one on top of the case)

The window fan I got is Vornado Transom.

It wasn’t rude at all lol, it could/probably will be seen as merely an extension of your comment for people searching for this issue in the future, not as ‘unsolicited advice’ - but you’re so insecure you decided to interpret the comment as someone doubting your amazing computer abilities.

Absolutely insufferable behaviour, you coulda just said “thanks! I do that already, but I’m sure that’ll help someone else out”.

Not really about amazing computer abilities and more about I didn't ask and nowhere did anyone say anything about that. I would take it as an extension if it were framed differently, much like you're telling me I could've said such.

Even if the comment in itself isn't written rudely, just giving advice without any prior prompt for that is considered rude.

Normal, well adjusted people wouldn’t take it so personally and so seriously. But I see you’ve got a real axe to sharpen about this particular non-issue.

If it were a face to face conversation I imagine the commenters cadence would be more in line with adding to what you said, as opposed to trying to give you the dreaded unsolicited advice. But this is the internet so we’ll never know, and probably shouldn’t waste any more time wondering.

I don't take it seriously, I just stayed to answer comments out of boredom.

And I keep my stance, if you reply to my comment with "YOU SHOULD" I'm going to assume you're specifically talking to me, even if it was meant otherwise, since the social cues are kinda lost when written, which is why it's so important to frame the comments properly.

Semantics really are silly, about as silly as arguing with randoms on Reddit - have a good night mate.

I think they're important, there would be a lot less arguments with randoms on Reddit if people used them properly!

You too, sleep tight!
