I bet that thing gives worse cold starts then my car in December...
Funny I remember joking around about putting a computer in the freezer for good temps, never thought someone would actually do it!
Sure its possible to put just the rad in the compuer and not worry about condensation.

Why does every one not do this? - Because your freezer will break... quickly. Its not built to run constantly at the required output to keep the rad cool, and so you broken freezer will start heating up with the rad inside sending high temp water back to your CPU... you get where this is going...?

There's a mass misunderstanding of the laws of nature here in this thread.

A computer in a freezer will not get condensation on it. Condensation only forms on things that are colder than the dew point of the air around them, and the computer (and all of it's components) will certainly be warmer than the ambient air inside a freezer. If anything, the computer will be dryer than it would be if it was sitting on a desk.

If putting things in a freezer caused condensation on them, then everything you put into a freezer would be wet or covered with ice ...wouldn't it?

As for the compressor, well maybe a couple of days, depends on how dirty the condenser coil is, but this ain't gonna end well.

Then the Alienware will die because they won't notice that the freezer went kaboom, and the kid can get a real computer

Yeah, we're gonna get grilled by M$ for having someone tell us he's using a cracked copy of windows
