After all, people living next to a railway line get acclimatised to the trains going past at all hours of the night and never hear them and you know how loud they are. I have a rather noisy wind chime right outside the kids' bedroom windows and they are so used to them that the chimes never wake them up on windy nights. It is a different story when people come to stay though - the wind chimes have to temporarily come down. :D Methinks it is all in the mind.... ;-) |

| 141658 | 2003-05-06 06:29:00 | I was going to mention that too, Susan. When I was a kid (a year or so ago) I was camping under a viaduct. One of the high ones on the Main Trunk Line that NZR ran trains over every hour or so. I hear the first train go over. | Graham L (2) | ||

| 141661 | 2003-05-06 08:31:00 | I don't know how stable it was for those two years though. I replaced the PSU when it was so buggered the PSU needed preheating with a fanheater before the computer would start. It looked like things had been getting dangerously hot in there and it was only a 200w running a P150. Then again, given a decent heatsink + the natural airflow of a tower case.... BTW, if your bored, try running the spell checking "fanheater" and "200w" :-). |
