Building A computer into a mini fridge?

[Crazed_climber]

Would this and an air compresser work?

You know those little moisture abosrber packets you see in packs of jerkey and things like that. Well you can find larger versions of that. All you would have to do is line the bottom with those. Or get an air recycling system that just moves air through some pipes backinto the fridge. And make a little box, fill it with these things then hooks up a fan or air compressor to drive air through the pipe.

The packet things you are referring to is called silica gel, and it can absorb huge amounts of moisture.

It can be bought in bulk from many crafting stores, it is used frequently to assist in the drying of herbs and flowers, among other uses. I would get about two cups of it in a small box, something that will breathe - perhaps a mesh box lined with cotton fabric or something, to allow air flow.

You will want to change this out fairly regularly, however, as it will eventualy become saturated. You can just replace it with dry stuff and allow the other stuff to dry. If you kept two sets, you could jsut swap them out on a weekly or monthly basis.

you don't even need to replace it. Just remove it and stick it in your oven for about an hour or two at 150-200 degrees. Dries that stuff right out.

Edit: missed the part where you said let it dry .

aparrently it's possible

yeah I saw that. The thing I realized you would have to do. You would have to replace the compressor and increase the coolant reservoir size because refrigerators are not meant to run 24/7 AND they are not meant to run with a constant heat source inside of them. All of this is quite dangerous too. The chemicals used in refrigerators can be deadly if not handled properly. And I don't have a clue about what proper procedure is so I would rather not risk it. If anyone else wants to risk their life for the sake of overclocking then by all means do it... or take classes first then do it.

Everything is always possible just may take some time to think of a idea... Use a fan instead of a condesner just a quick thought

What about Vacuum Sealing the mobo and components?
I'm not sure how well it would work...
but maybe V Seal it to be submersed in the Fluoro you guys had mentioned
or V Seal it for placement in the mini-fridge to protect against condensation.

[Eclecticos]

It might work with a drip loop, with the electronics housed externally,
a refrigerated reservoir, or vacuum sealed as stated above.

Though. . I doubt it would last long.

maybe something like THIS would work
