Hope that the original comment is buried too far down the thread for anyone to bother checking, then make a completely erronous statement. One word: Weasel. Did you check out the thread where he's explaining how on a modern network a "server" is the machine that all the applications run on, the the "nodes" are just dumb terminals so you want your fastest CPU on the server since that's where the applications are all run! LOL These recent threads have me thinking maybe Trent is overheating, needs some AC. |

LOL I haven't read it. I try to avoid his posts, they make me upset, I don't tolerate fools, especially when they are giving erronous advice to people who may not know it's wrong.. It's only when he posts in a thread that I'm interested in or where I think I can offer some useful advice that I see his blather. -- ~misfit~ --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Such measures are applied in industrial installations (like in electricity
cabinets of large machines in a factory - where water sprinklers are not a wise anti-flame option). In non electrical / non chemical environements water sprinklers remotely and automaticly switched open (for EE guys, open means there's a current of water) by a relay connected to the fire / heat alarm. Im sure there are trip-switches that also disconnect elevators and such when there's a building fire... Seen a LOT of panels/Other for the Nuclear & PetroChem industry's (cant say I ever seen any automated fire ext kit for a sole peice of electronics).. In reality, If something is allowed to get hot enough to burn your house through an electrical fault (dead short) then it means that the consumer unit is not properly set up. Once a fire is started removing electricity (for most things that we have) will not stop the fire. Normally IF there is a fire you would combat the whole area and not just the specific fire point of detection (speaking about automated fire systems here). But I would need to wonder HOW his pc burning (probably have 5-10 fuses before it gets to the power strip) will spread to other things in the house. Metal (normally metal) cases generally dont burn well, nor does the things inside of a case. My suggestion, Get proper electrical wiring. |

Normally IF there is a fire you would combat the whole area and not just the specific fire point of detection (speaking about automated fire systems here). Electrical fault can also be an arc - which means there's an ongoing spark and heat source. Generally speaking, most of electrical components are in some way or another flame retraded (all PCBs have UL-94 V-0 marking), electric outlets should be FR-HIPS or melamine, cables are (intrinsically) flame retarded PVC etc... But I would need to wonder HOW his pc burning (probably have 5-10 fuses before it gets to the power strip) will spread to other things in the house. Metal (normally metal) cases generally dont burn well, nor does the things inside of a case. Aluminum burns like hell(fire) ;-) steel (or copper) doesn't. Think about airplane burning - it's not just the fuel, it's the whole fuselage. My suggestion, Get proper electrical wiring. Agreed. And standard components (UL, CE, TUV marks) |
