Here's one I thought of some time back. A 1.9 cu ft mini freezer @ 20" square. It has a thermostat that can run the unit to -20 C. It's under 200 bucks.
My idea was to trash the door and replace it with a triple pane, argon filled thermopane unit with the "heat mirror" film inside, (blocks most infrared transmission), set in a frame and installed with a silicone gasket held on with thumbscrews.
Mobo set inside on plastic standoffs with ground wires at top of standoffs running to silicone sealed connectors at side or top of unit along with all other needed wires to PC case, with all other components (psu, drives, etc), mounted on side or top.
If heat load is to great for freezer then............................
Cpu and Gpu to have heatpipe coolers that have enough space between base and fins to allow fins to be sealed in insulated, sealed "through" duct with 120mm fans.
Fill Port and purge valve to fill sealed freezer with nitrogen to eliminate all moisture.
Pc should work great even with freezer unpluged. Even better turned on and set to -20 C cooling entire mobo, ram etc.
How about one of you guys with more time and money than me build it and let me know how it works :)
Oh ! by the way HELLO. Been a lurker here for YEARS.
 
The best way that I have found to use wine to cool anything is by putting it in my bong to mellow the Hawaiin Red and Purple Haze and give it a nice fruity after taste. I have also found that dry red wines are better than white for taking the harsh out.
 
A Pentium D furnace? Or more specifically a Pentium D blast furnace?

Actually this is a good idea. My girlfriend and I were sitting in front of a nice warm Pentium D 805 @ 4.0ghz with the panel off, sipping some wine and eating chocolate covered strawberries in sensual ways.

She got a little chilly so I just threw another Prime on Core 0 and I don't have to tell you what happened when she warmed up... :wink:

ROFLMAO
 
I have a plan to one day rig up some pipes and use some plastic sheeting and plenty of silicone sealant to use water cooling on a normal heatsink... something big like a zalman flower or something... and have the tank and radiator sitting outside the window so all the heat adds to global warming... and keeps my processor nice'n'chilly.

I noticed that with a waterblock, if you run water over it from the tap and just feel it with the back of your hand, it feels a little cool... if you take a big 'ol zalman flower and do the same... damn that gets chilly! So why don't watercooling companies use flower-type heatsinks? Some sort of fin area/watt critical threshold is crossed or something?

Something along these lines?

Thermaltake Volcano

It's not a Zalman flower but more like a Big Typhoon running on water. Plug this into a system with a strong pump, a triple 120mm rad and some 2500 rpm fans and you could cool off Satan's a$$hole. :lol:
