Super cool

[Jurge]

I've been thinking about doing a mod inside a mini fridge, the sort with a glass door, it would of course be turned on to cool the system, and to me this seems like a good idea but I can't help thinking i have over looked something, I know i will need to replace the glass so that I can make the ports come out of it but i'm sure there is probably another reason why this isn't a good idea.

Condensation would quickly ruin any electronics.

This has been done before, but it would be nice to see someone deal with the condensation issue.

ah yes, perhaps a dehumidifier.
and thank you.

One thing that might be easier to do would be to put the system outside of the fridge, liquid cool it with a liquid with a very low freezing temp, and have the radiators inside the fridge. That would let you effectively ignore condensation, and let you crank the fridge down as low as it can go.

nice idee, i would mount the whole thing in the fridge. and mount watercooling on the cooling element (ceep the wathercooling turning else you'll have problems with frost) and put vent in the top of the fridge and some holes in the botem (u can put a cap on it so it doetsn verry good seen)

from my experience it would be safer to put the whole pc in the fridge. i used to bench with my case outside in -10C air for 30 minutes at a time and i never saw any condensation. there was however after i brought it back in. like a can of pop or beer when you have drastic temp differences.


but that being said, fridges are NOT meant to have a constant heat load in them. they remove the heat from the food and the insulation keeps it cool.

You could always just use a conformal coating like professional LN2 clockers use...
