I have tried hiding it in a tv cabinet, still too noisy. I have placed in in another room and run hdmi and usb cables but the propagation delay caused horrible tearing and lag when playing games. Have any other slash dotters encountered this problem? I don't want to buy a console(steam sales let me game so cheaply), or mess with water cooling. Ideally I would just hide it in the attic, is there some wireless technology that would be fast enough for gaming use? I have become quite attached to 'behemoth'. I have been upgrading him for years and he is the centre of my digital life. I run plex home theatre, media centre, steam, iTunes and air server. Will I have to do my gaming in the spare room? Once I have sorted this small problem going to try and make a case for the efficacy of a projector to replace the television..... it takes up less space, motorised screen could be hidden when not in use etc.

Thanks for citing the ieee paper http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/freeabs_all.jsp?arnumber=1083337. Unfortunately I am not a current member. Can the entire paper be found anywhere else online? Thanks this is a very interesting discussion.

Google has gained my trust and all my data. I am doing almost all of my computing in the cloud. Google Reader, Calender, Email, Docs and Notes have become my tools of choice. Even to the point where my day book, research notes etc are all on Google's servers.It was just so easy, enabling me to effortlessly work from multiple computers, operating systems and locations. I know, I know this is foolish all my eggs are firmly in one basket. It has crept up on me. As a long time computer user and committed pessimist I have used many schemes over the years to ensure my data is safe. Now I have ceded all control to Google. How can I regain some control and back this all up? Is there a one touch solution that will take all my data from the various online apps and archive it on my home server?"
