I had this crazy PC colling idea to just run your computer in like a refriderator like a mni refrigerator. If this would work or you have some more crazy PC cooling ideas or just crazy PC ideas post them here

On Hackaday there was a guy who submerged his entire PC into cooking oil. It stayed cool, apparently. That would be a pain to change components/upgrade, etc.

I tried using 38% Ethanol, 62% VIRGIN BLOOD, but it has bad temperature transfer qualities. I'll just stick with air, I suppose.

"That is a distinct possibility."

Anyways, the daring imbeciles at TomsHardware also cooled a CPU with LN2 (Liquid Nitrogen, for those who aren't in the 'IN' crowd). With my luck, I'd end up pouring it all over myself and smashing into peices a la T1000 (T2).

I always thought it would be cool to have a computer in a fish tank (with live fish of course), in little clear glass/plastic domes a la Atlantis.

Actually I was thinking more like the fish tank from Mars Attacks! (the really big one), with a big computer, and in multiple parts (like the mobo in one bubble, the power supply in another, etc.).

I had once thought of modding a window airconditioner into the side of a PC case but I'm not sure if it would realy keep it cool or not. (that and the PC would then take up a eindow in my house

)

There's a guy who did cool his pc by making it's case into a fridge. I can't find it right now, though...
