Better yet, one of those people that live in like Nebraska, just put your computer outside your window in a snow storm. Package it up in a garbage bag or something. Then you don't have to go all the way to Antartica.

what?

its a joke on all the SUPA POWA cooling, some times i think some of them should just live in antartica and overclock for the rest of their lives.

Shit no, they'd melt the polar ice cap in a week with o/c'd Prescotts.

Actually since antarctica not only is rather cold but also very dry it would be the ideal place for an air cooled system. Until you find out that the oil in the fan and hard drive bearings wasn't quite rated for the - 75 C. What is what's stopping me from simply putting my computers into a freezer.

I was doing research on cooling my Antec Sonata case and I think I've found my only solution! Thanks!

stick the hard drive out of the fridge and you wouldn't need a fan since it would be so cold.

I live in Canada and have done this

The outside temperature was about -35C

This was with an old system mind you. Ran a P2-450@600. I'm sure I could of gone further but the mobo didn't support a higher FSB.

Awesome idea, during the winter I duct in the cold air from outside and pipe it into my system. I have gotten my CPU down to about 10c. That was with a 1700+ oc'ed to about 2.065MHz, wasn't too bad. Only downside is that the it makes my room could from the exhuast fans.
