Something cool on Wikipedia

Scroll down to the microwave. I think that's one of the coolest mods I've ever seen.

By the way, the article mentions "phase change" cooling. Do people use R134a for that? Water would work if you can evacuate it down to around 5kPa to get the saturation temperature around where it needs to be, but even then it wouldn't be as effective.

I wonder what would happen if your friend accidently turned on that microwave when the pc was running...

Phase change is a bit different. Uses the compressor of refrigeration equipment and a modified evaporator.

Heres some pics of mine.

I don't have any pictures of the temp gauge, but right now I am idling at -42c.

now if only you could set it to pop your popcorn for you while you watch a movie on your monitor, and melt your butter too.....

 

[tylerdustin2008]

hahahah I could, It gets that hot.

 

[PCTC2]

pop your popcorn on your GTS and melt your butter on your Q6600 when you turn off your phase change to cool your beers instead?

LoL!

Hey, don't give Lian-Li any ideas...

I could do it. But this thing is loud enough as it is.
