Is it possible to take a mini fridge and hook it up to your computer so that the cold air flows into the case. A insulated tube could be used that carries the air from the refridgerator to the inside of the case. This ounds like it would work if the refridgerator was right next to the computer. Is this possible? Don't flame me lol

i think condensation would form in the case around hot spots like cpu,gpu and northbridge unless u insulate them also, but u still run risks so i dunno

The fridge would burn its compressor out. If you really want to get cold buy a vapochill XE and your processor will be running at -7C

This man speaks truth. Not worth it, mini fridges aren't designed to remove that much heat. If you want to go cold, get a Prometia (or a vapochill...).

if you wanted to use a fridge you could easily hook up a water cooling system that has the pump and the tanks in the fridge and just circulates out of the fridge and into your case.

to stave off condensation you would just have to seal your board at the contact points like you would with phase change cooling and wrap the tuping in an insulation.
