What I want to know is whether or no you can de-humidify the inside of the freezer to a point that condensation doesn't occur. Remove the moisture from the air, remove the condensation, right? probably not but I can still dream. Technically, condensation shouldn't be an issue as long as the air is clean. What if we take note from the extreme cooling section and just liquid electrical tape the crap out of all of our components? Throw some eraser on there.. some neoprene.. good to go? I'm just spitting out ideas. I feel like there has to be a way this can be done.
How do data centers keep servers in rooms that are cooled to below 50F without having condensation issues?

Air conditioners are different from freezers. Air conditioners dehumidify the room constantly and they're usually not in close proximity to the servers. A refrigerator compressor can't handle constant load.

Up there it the north, it would work all year long.
during the winter, you'd have a solid brick of ice and a busted radiator from the ice inside 
I simply couldn't believe it... Now, I'm running all of them at low, my Corsair H60 stock fan is off and only starts if the CPU gets over 75C. It's not passive though because I have the stock rear fan still pulling cool air from the back at low speed and so far, even after a 15 minutes Prime95 test run, the Corsair fan didn't start a single time with my signature overclock. My GPU now keeps the fan at 40% until the temperature reaches 50C since that never happens unless I'm gaming/folding and if I'm doing these things I either wear closed headphones or I'm not on my computer. So far, my GPU temps stayed at about 75C playing GTA IV but that's pretty normal since after 50C, the fan curve is the same. I simply can't believe how small the difference in temperature was compared to the noise reduction...
