haha, that was funny.cwiz said:i went to school for mechanical engineering. (heat transfer and fluid mechanics)
i make aerospace heat exchangers. so if you think im an idiot, dont fly.

krazieaznboi said:well all u guys here are correct about how a refridgerator and condensation works but this is just a hypothesis. an experiment is required. get one of those ancient computers ( ones from school) and try it, ull neva no the outcome if u dont do experiments. so spartan if u decide to try it, im with u all the way.

it wont work. A refrigerator works by transferring heat from the inside of the refrigerator to the air outside the refrigerator. if u do research on a refridgerator than ull no y. final answer is u cant use a refridgerator to cool a computer.
cwiz said:if your parts are colder than ambient, condensation will form when ambient temp air reaches the board. you would actually be better off with the whole thing in the frig, at least that way the chips will be warmer than the air instead of the other way around.
you would not be able to open the frig once you get the mobo cold until the whole inside of the frig heats up slowly to ambient temps with no new air being added. you would have to unplug the frig and wait. if you leave the pc on you would have to make sure you dont overshoot the ok range and sufficate you puter.
it would take you probably like 30 mins every time you want to change something inside. then another day to get the whole thing cold again...
if you open the frig and let fresh air in, it will cause condensation on the chilly chips.

Hmm...
And for the record, that post was sarcastic...the coil on the back of a fridge is actually quite hot, not cold.
