I would like to ask if it is possible to visualize temperature in 3D over time. Something like this. http://www.dglogik.com/images/dg_imac.png The problem with the this software is, that you need a building automation system data output to feed a visualization like this. Is there any other way? It doesn't have to be eye catching, just functional. Thank you for any help.

Hello, Yes I've been researching for about 3 weeks now. Yes, I looked around the forum. Yes, I am beginning to understand computer lingo, but not accurately! The computer I'll be purchasing: DELL Optiplex 9010 Ivy i7-3770 [3.4 GHz, 3.9GHz maxed, 8MB cache] 16GB RAM [1600] 2 x 1TB 7200rpm HDD GPU: Esus GTX560 2GB DDR5 PSU: 700W Somethings I will use it for: 1. Adobe CS5 and some CS6 as I learn a) Photoshop b) Illustrator c) After Effects [motion gfx], using pretty much every plug-in I can get my hands on 2. SketchUp 3. renderers for SketchUp a) Twilight b) V-Ray c) Indigo d) Octane 4. some gaming with hopefully good performance! 5. other 'regular' stuff I no longer reside in the States, so for now assume warranties and buying over the net are both myths. I've been told there's no room for an additional fan inside the comp. Apparently no professional fan can replace the stock one either [have NO idea why the technician claims so]. QUESTION: 1. Keeping the stock fan, and having added a more powerful GPU and larger PSU, do you think I will have major issues with overheating? Assume a ~25C environment. Bonus question: If I can, for about $400 more, have a comp. built with a GTX670, a more robust cooling system and a new case should I go for it? Any other helpful information would be greatly appreciated. Remember I am not too proficient with the lingo and acronyms. Sorry for the long post. Thank you in advance.
