This may sound crazy, but what if i used a compact freezer, and externally cooled the radiator. Also, how does acrylic hold coldness? If i modded the freezer so it was acylic, would it hold the cold?

Thats an interesting question. I know some people who've run with ice in their reservoirs, so I know that tubing can at least handle 0C.

However, what you're proposing here sounds like something below 0.

And where is this acrylic giong to be? Coldness can make it brittle, but unless you're talking about really low temps (way below 0) I don't think that there should be a problem. I'd suggest you keep the temp in the freezer to 1C, anything less and you might run into a frozen radiator. Unless you put in some antifreeze or something, but there might be a chance that something will reach with that. Low chance tho...

Well my next computer is going to be an acrylic case, so i was thinking about taking the freezer completly apart..and then putting the cooling part in a self made acrylic "shell". The reason that i am sceptical on whether the acrylic will keep the cold or not is because regular freezers/fridges are specially designed to keep cold...and use certain materials to prevent condensation ect.

Yeh, i was thinking about doing that...im guessing the temps would be anywhere from -3 to 2 C.

Is it possible to make the case out of metal, maybe with an acrylic top?

Also, another suggestion is that you put in a thermostat, set to 1C. Then you don't have to add impurities like antifreeze.

It will be a good idea that you insulate the tubing all over your PC if you do that, since having water below ambient, the tubes will be absorbing heat, instead of releasing it. A simple solution to that is to wrap your tubes in foam, but if you've got the time, it might be better to get a block of styrofoam, drill a hole through it and put your pipes through that. If you can encase all your pipes through styrofoam, you'll get a much cooler system (might not look good...).

One way of dealing with condensation will be to reduce the humidity in the PC itself. I'll leave that to you to figure out how to do that

Well i was planning on making my next computer "flashy" so i don't think insualtion all over the place and a big freezer next to it will be very appealing. I think that thermoelectric might just be the way to go..as it is more intact.

Also i found all the parts i would need for thermoelctric for under $150 so it should work out well..

Thanks for all your help/opinions.

good luck...

and be sure to post pics (i'm a sucker for a homemade flashy rig )

o.O, flashy rig!!!

I'll be waiting for pics

Also, remember to take pics as you assemble the TEC in, it'll make a great how-to tutorial.

sounds good.. i will be ordering the parts today or tommorow so it should be all together in a week or or two

Well, after 2 weeks, 5 Rma's, and 2 thousand dollars...I still don't have all the parts for my new computer, so i have decided not to do thermoelctric for 3 reasons.

1). I dont want to risk a brand new computer
2). I dont have anymore money
3). Im tired of waiting for my damn computer.

I have gone through 2 mobo's, 2 psu's and an lcd monior. The box that the monitor was literally crushed into 1/4 the size the box should have been. Unfortunatly i wasn't home to reject the ups package. After this..I feel like barfing everytime i see a UPS truck drive by. I have no respect for ups anymore..as they take **** care of their packages. My freind ordered a video card that was sent through them and he said that the card was in 100 peices when recieved. Horrable company..I will be using fedex for now on..as i have never had a problem with them.
