  • How do you connect it to your existing hot water system though? Already got a heat pump too, when you have the most sun the heat pump barely uses any power for hot water and don’t need much.

    I have wondered about solar/fire heated pool or hot tub, but that is adding energy demands in the first place. That said with the heat lately a cold pool could be nice. Can get 5000L for just under £100, 3-4m wide. Heating it could make it usable into autumn though.








  • Well let’s start with how much you need.

    Then we can all cry. Currently looking at replacing HDDs with SSDs and significantly cutting down on my data storage requirements - basically uninstalling all those games I haven’t played in a long time and probably won’t. Plus it’s easier to avoid getting sucked into playing ESO and wasting money on it if it’s behind a 100+ GB download. Majority of games I actually play are under 5GB so I could go pretty heavy. Couple second hand 512GB SSDs perhaps? Under £100…



  • After walking through CEX on the weekend I don’t know if you will beat second hand laptop pricing. The significantly higher availability of laptops seems to make them prices that just can’t be beaten.

    Unless you can get away running a pi zero of course. Sorta tempted to get one but not sure how much I could get it to do. Would do data storage just fine, depending on how much space you need.
