I keep getting messages about getting a bigger penis so I have been looking around for the best site to learn more about it.

I did a search on the topic and found most people will agree with your blog.

Hehe, no way! Had a good laugh when I read this, hope I’m not going to be out of a job some day…

makes me want to see a turbine powered vacuum. should be fairly green too, connsidering turbine efficiency (not to mention powerful)

Hopefully nobody is dumb enough to use this vacuum indoors. They might start, but they might not finish vacuuming

Lol, I thought people would be trying to hack away from gasoline… nonetheless that’s pretty sweet. And Dan I want to see that gas powered blender, that would be a whole new breed of “will it blend”. You could throw in gold bars and get powder! ^_^

Then you have confetti ^_^

SSD? http://www.logicsupply.com/categories/flash_memory/40_pin_ide_flash_modules

$21 for 1GB. Use XP Embedded or XP with Enhanced Write Filter. Or Puppy Linux etc.

I like his bravado, but he should have started with a lower power processor 89w isn’t a good one. There were 65watt and 35watt models available of the AMD processors.

Kudos for the massive heatsinks, that was awesome.

I would love to have a mini-ITX based system with one of the huge (10-heatpipe) towers on it, based on a cube with an acrylic stand for the convection flow.

Use low-voltage processors and a silent power supply like these: http://www.mini-box.com/s.nl/sc.8/category.13/.f

If you leave the HDD inside, you might as well have a very slow 120mm/140mm fan going.

I would do some calculations and see what kind of surface area a Thermalright 120 Extreme or Scythe Mugen Infinity have, just use them whole, one for the video card too ;).

@barry99705, I did have a real comment, but it didn’t post, it may have been too long or something.

I think this is an awesome idea, if you add it to a 33-gallon trash can and use a long tube to keep the noise away from you.

I know several real life full time gold prospectors. None of them need vacuums. Though it’s a novel idea, keeps down the electrocution factor while prospecting. 99.99% is done around rivers and streams. Once again for the people bitching about vacuums indoors. Did you even read the article, or just start ranting after looking at the picture?

@Dan Fruzzetti, look at RC car motors. they make some decent power and are of course tiny. and you get an extra 5 geek points cause its not just gas powered. It’s NITRO baby

so a gas powered blender… use a weed wacker, retain the flexible drive shaft and use that flexibility to attatch it to the teeth that mesh with the blender cup. they work quite nicely and make a fine icy beverage while camping

You greenies who are objecting to a gasoline powered vacuum might try reading the article to find out why he doesn’t just use an electric powered one.

gas powered…seriously? should we really be spending that much time trying to make more gasoline powered products?

2-stroke or 4 you’re still just utilizing the intake/exhaust of a standard combustion engine.

how in the heck do you find yourself that far from an electrical outlet while needing a vacuum anyway? lol

Now that’s a man’s vacuum.
