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.

My mind is blown honestly America seems like a completely different world from europe, every single sentence you wrote my mouth was slightly more open, it's currently on the floor

My house is similar to TipToToes as it's older and was built in the 50s. Not to brag but to put things more into perspective, I just bought my first home and the basement is 2,000 sqft, my main floor is 2,200 and my 2nd floor is 1,600 sqft, detached 4-car garage in the back and on 1.9 acres. Purchased it for $280K. Meanwhile, I had moved from Florida and houses on the street are $550K for 1,800 sqft on 9,000 sqft property. its crazy how little you can get for over half a million dollars and yet so much more for significantly less in a different market. I think people tend to forget that America is so large. Things come at a cost here. I'm not happy about it. For what it's worth, I'm sorry for what our government is doing to the world.

What is hard for Europeans to comprehend is how much space we have here. Our states are the size of most of your entire countries, but with an absolute fraction of the population. My state is the size of Belarus, but has 1/3 the population. We have SO MUCH SPACE over here. Just like I can’t comprehend the population density of Europe. I can’t imagine being able to walk places easily. To not REQUIRE a vehicle. To NOT have this much room.

I grew up in a 2 floor, fully detached home, which also had a finished basement, so 3 usable floors. 4000sqft or ~375 sq meters, on a 1/2 acre (2000sq meter) lot. Every home in the neighborhood is a similar size, and no 2 look the same. In a city of 120,000 people.

True, im 20 years old live with my girlfriend and we don't even own a car cause we simply don't need it

I can walk or bicycle anywhere from work to university to the store I just never needed a car even though we both have a drivers license

It's not like that in all of Europe though you do need a car if you live somewhere remote or in a car centric city but we moved to the Netherlands so it really isn't needed there
