DearWebby is actually Helmut Morscher, the CEO of Webby, inc.
Originally the "Tech Support Pits" were reports of the funniest tech support incidents, but over the years the
column gradually shifted to answering tech support questions put forward by the readers of the Dear
Webby Humor Letter.
This collection of computer and web advice was started partly because readers demanded an archive, and partly
because some questions were asked again and again. Each page has a different day's Tech Support Pits column.
Have FUN!

Tech Support Pits column from Dear Webby's Humor Letter of
05/29/04: Cooling
Tech Support Pits:
From Art===
Dear Webby,
We have a few computers in a dust proof console. With the
warmer weather it is getting way too hot in there. What is
the best way to cool them without going to expensive
air conditioning?
Thanks
Art
Dear Art
Just get a short section of hot water radiator and hook it
up to cold water. Mount it in the top of the cabinet.
Adjust the flow to a slow trickle and use an electric valve
from a dishwasher or washing machine so that you can
shut it off at night or when the temperature is cooler
with just a push button.
The drain pipe or hose should exit into a sink or
eaves trough or anything that is higher up than the radiator.
Usually the fans in the computers create enough turbulence
in a cabinet, but you can always mount a fan from an old
power supply to blow across the radiator. Any reasonably
quiet fan will do for that.
Don't worry about condensation. You aren't using fresh air.
Have FUN
Dear Webby
