Pi 2 Infinity: You wouldn't happen to be in Lehman, would you?
RWaller5: hahaha! freakin' nope! you?
Pi 2 Infinity: Yeah, and I've now borne witness to something I never thought I'd see.
RWaller5: ?!?!?! do tell!
Pi 2 Infinity: So, this EP student purchased a computer from the school's material management excess stash for dirt cheap (which I didn't know we were allowed to do). He disassembled it from its casing but left everything connected, so imagine a computer running on a desk, still connected to a monitor and speakers, but everything just laying out on a disk. Wires everywhere, right?
RWaller52: okay
Pi 2 Infinity: Now imagine taking all the parts not monitor and speaker and putting them in a tupperware container without a lid. So, all the "central" parts are in a small tupperware container laid out with a fan and wires and everything just laying around. They are connected to a monitor and speakers, and this guy is playing pinball in Windows... Cool? His buddy comes along with six liters of vegetable oil and pours it into the tupperware while the first guy is still playing pinball... and it fucking works!
RWaller52: okay, that's awesome!
Pi 2 Infinity: The entire computer is under oil and running perfectly.
RWaller52: dude...that's cool...I'll give you that!
Pi 2 Infinity: Dude. The computer is completely submerged in a liquid. Speakers are plugged into this pool of oil, and Green Day is filling the lab. It is fuckin' weird looking...
RWaller52: okay...I would definately like to see that
Pi 2 Infinity: I took pictures. They're going to freeze it like this and try to funnel liquid nitrogen to the CPU...
RWaller52: what!?!?!
Pi 2 Infinity: To overclock it or something. Swing by the design lab tomorrow. It should be working by then... EP students have access to liquid nitrogen, by the way.
Pi 2 Infinity: Yeah... but still... this is movie-magnitude geek type shit right here. This is blowing my mind.
RWaller52: hahaha! I could definately agree with that statement!
RWaller5: hahaha! freakin' nope! you?
Pi 2 Infinity: Yeah, and I've now borne witness to something I never thought I'd see.
