I don't have any Linux nodes at the moment, but because of how little money I had before my job and the legal situation in Arkansas regarding my government check, I have no urge whatsoever to try to build a nest egg at the moment. If you wish to know why I think this is a good way to go, look through the topics of my past posts in the last month or two. If I'm not mistaken, the topic should jump out at you. If not, just PM me and I'll explain. Btw, it's a thread I started personally.

Anyway, I was wondering how difficult it would be to throttle a computer based on the temperature in a room. For instance, would it be possible to take a sensor out of a computer and put it, say, across the room by my bed?

I won't have a Linux node until sometime in July or August, but I thought I'd go ahead and ask.
