Hello Frank,

If you would like to discuss your system in depth, I'd be happy
to do so in email. It is clear that can't be done on the
newsgroup because of the total confusion this fellow "kony" is
injecting. He is arguing one thing to you, and another thing to
me, and there is no way that you are going to get a logical step
by step understanding of how it works from trying to follow
that!

As you are currently describing it, your design is not going to
work. You will end up with the fans turned on virtually all the
time, and probably on occasion will be getting thermal shutdowns
(though if you don't, you'll be running at far too high a
temperature for proper operation and will eventually suffer
equipment failures as a result). But the "not work" refers to
the fact that you'll have either fan noise greater than is
needed or more heat than is acceptable, and very little time in
between.

There is a *lot* more detail to it than what I've posted in the
couple of long articles that I did write. But you have to
understand the first part before you try to learn about the next
part...

If you'd like, we can go through it one step at a time and explore
the significance of some of these "un-thought of difficulties".

Have a good day,
Floyd
