Not sure where to put this so general might work..
Anyhow. Forgot the hard drive issues or pretend it's a SSD. Would the computer work if I plugged it into the external outlet of the space station and turned it on... Would it just burn up since the components can't radiate their heat?
Problem 2..I am not that into how the computer actually works, but I think all parts other than the fans and hard drive are purely resistive and therefore turn 100% of the power into heat. With that said, could they make an aluminum computer and if they could, how would it work in the same outer space scenario? This is remembering that aluminum at that super cold temp becomes superconductive, so produces no heat...
