How to make grass quickly from computer using waste heat



Because the CPU which becomes the brain of the personal computer becomes high temperature, you have to be careful about the room temperature, but the plants do not germinate without fever. When considering the integration of inorganic computer and organic matter like this, it falls into the state of "It will not come this way if you make a mistake", but it was room to solve such troubles by lowering the room temperature Idea 's idea of ​​growing plants by waste heat of computers while keepingBio Computer"is. How to make Bio Computer that can be created even at home PC is from the following.

In order to make plants grow, you have to remodel the case of the personal computer body. As to how to grow grass, warm air is easy to accumulate in the upper side, so we will make the grass grow from the top.


First, take out the contents of the main body from the case. Contents look like this.

CPU - Pentium 4 (3 GHz)
DELL motherboard
Memory Stick - 2 GB
Hard disk - 2 GB
Power supply unit


In order for the grass to grow quickly, heat must be applied firmly to the soil placed on the ceiling, so we will rearrange the contents.


Remove the top board,


I will put it in a state of emergency.


Use pliers to change the top board to a frame only state. Pretty powerful work.


And only the frame remained ... ....


This is the part to be a planter. To make grass growth look better you use a transparent acrylic resin ones. There are holes in the bottom of the case ......


It is to connect such a tube. Acrylic resin is hard to pass heat, so instead of putting all of the soil in one case, it makes it easier to convey heat by subdivision. So I made the bottom by blocking one side of the acrylic tube.


Once the planter is firmly fixed to the frame with glue, reinstall the motherboard and hard disk. Be careful not to let the CPU cooler hit the tube at this time.


Attach the board to the back, complete all the cords connected.


Grass grew.


This is Wheatgrass = Wheat Wakaba. It seems that I grow up from seeds and grow up in about a week.


Thanks to waste heat, even a slight sunlight grows quickly.


If you covered it with a panel like this, it makes it a neat impression.


The personal computer will start without problems.


A soft impression of a plant may be added to an inorganic personal computer, and a harmony element may be born in the room.


By the way, the cost of production is an acrylic case / 5 dollars (about 400 yen), acrylic tube / 5 dollars (about 400 yen), computers / goblins, a panel covering the main body / free for a total of 10 dollars (about 800 yen) .
