Well its certainly not good for you, but i think you'd have to deliberately drink it to do any real harm Certainly working well as can be seen by the frost ...... what i want o know is does it make the whole room freezing cold or just the comp?

Nope...the room is baking hot now...as the aircon generates a lot of heat to get the anti freeze that cold.

Al...as someone who I presume works on cars...have you ever swallowed any antifreeze...and if so how much....and were there any symptoms ???

Well never really swallowed any no..... spat it out yes never been ill from it ..... but its not nice stuff its got methanol in it and something else, so if your feeling really unwell i would just get yourself down to the local doctors/ casualty... better to be safe than sorry IMO the worst they can say is no your be fine..... you may feel slightly stupid but for sure if you ingested alot it could be VERY serious..... hope I don't worry you too much

One second faster ... I probably can't do better, I tried with uncheking the start up programs in msconfig and rebooting but I was even slower ! 7:16

Well, here's my latest test : 7min08 :roll:

HAHA, still in good humour i see..... well I'm terrible at giving this type of advise...... i hate going to the doctors even when i do something stupid..... like i once inhaled so much paint the inside of my nose actually went blue (the colour i was spraying ) i felt ill for a couple of days LOL. Thats why i always say to people better to be safe than sorry cos i'm exactly the type that won't go to the doctors/ hospital It's funny really my bro is the opposite

I think if you had swallowed a substantial amount you would've thrown up by now. Better safe than sorry though

Makes me feel better to know that it seems unless you have actually drunk it on purpose or by accident then you should be ok...
