    I think even just installing an intake would do wonders for this setup. A hole cut with a filter would be good, an additional fan directing air at the bottom would be even better. I’m assuming this PC case has some kind of intake / exhaust. Right now it’s prob just recirculating its own air. That single fan on the prob isn’t doing that much.




  • I don’t have air conditioning so that’s a sweet dig I guess

    Also I’m not about to go ripping my house apart and running new 220v wires to save a buck. And I’m saying this as an electrician haha. There’s literally no access to underneath my kitchen where the gas lines for the stove and dryer run to the basement. They just put the (old growth) floor joists right overtop the dirt like you would a shed and cut a hole in the foundation to run utilities into that part of the house.

    I don’t live in California where they’re tryin to outlaw natural gas. I live in Pennsylvania which is one of the biggest suppliers of gas so it’s not exactly going anywhere. To try what they’re doin out west would be like mass destruction to people’s homes in Pittsburgh. It’s a very old city, lots of lath and plaster walls, etc. Not something that’s easy to just plug in an induction stove like some of these comments are making it out to be



  • The money point is moot my dude. I have all gas appliances: dryer, hot water tank, furnace, stove. No air conditioning in the home. My gas bill in the summer is literally $30, which is $15 more than the minimum service delivery bill. You’re not losing any measurable amount of money by using a gas stove since it’s likely on for what, 15-30 minutes a day tops? Electric or induction is using power as well

    Now in the winter it regularly gets to be around 200-300 or so for the furnace, but I did a lot of air sealing and insulation at the tail end of winter, should knock it down a bit. Very old home, from the 1870s. Either way, gas is still cheaper than electric. It’s why I love it.
