Default A mini fridge CAN cool a PC
I found some pics from when I had my mini fridge setup wish I could have found the pics with the temps but after a format all I had was yahoo mail saving my pics that I sent to my brother-in-law anyway I hit 4.5 on my E8400 and my temps were 23c LOAD.... not bad I think although I did fry that CPU (and my lovely OCer P5Q-E) with condensation here's where these pics come in.... yes that's vegatable oil NO it is NOT under any circumstances a good idea.... I'm still pulling oil out of expansion slots..... it's gross now all gunked up
Moral of the story.... don't be lazy with condensation proofing

I'm assuming because vegetable oil is non-conductive and it diluted any condensation / eliminated it.

Well my first mini fridge experiment ended in disaster when I didn't properly condensation proof my E8400/P5Q-E... I knew vegetable oil to be non-conductive.... so I though hey... "why not" it did work great though
I know it's retarded now.... but I should at least get points for creativity..... I'm just grasping for reasons not to call myself an idiot

so the oil did keep the condensation off? This idea could be expanded to much colder fluids cooling the CPU...

There are people that do submerged computers in mineral oil, and there are people who do phase change cooling... what if they combined methods? Extreme cooling without the condensation problem? Someone do it.
