Refridgerated PC?

So I have a mini fridge that I have no further use for. I was planning on making some risers and mounting the motherboard in the refridgerator with a power supply set on top of fridge and cables running in and out of the door. I would just use plain old air cooling inside the fridge. The main source of cooling in the little beast is the ice tray so air needs to be propelled from that.

If anyone has experience or any semi-worth-knowing information, please gimme it! My main question would be.... condensation?! Water + PC = BADDDD!
 
This question has been asked many, many times. The general consensus is that it won't work. Do a search for one of the hundreds of threads on this topic. ;).
 
Ya, I agree. Thats retarded :p. Reasons: A) 0 airflow, cold, but may cause fridge stinkage, I recommend arm and hammer. B) Possible cramped space. (where would you put your harddrive, in the veggie cooler?) C) Sell the mini fridge and buy water cooling for your current system.
 
just use the compressor and the radiator and stuff and make your own phase changing cooler .. that would be something you can work on ...

Condensation would kill your mobo/processor pretty quick.

And if I'm not mistaken, the heat from his mobo/processor would eventually kill his fridge as well.
 
Thanks lol, it was highly doubted, but who knows what will happen after a few beers, I thought I could probably put the water cooling radiator and resevoir in it and make to and from lines.. Put it under the PC and have a place to put a couple beers for more dream ideas?
 
...with a strong enough pump. Longer lines, more resistance... It all adds up to the whole pushing thing with a pump. I think using a fridge and a huge pump would result in a cost issue to operate.

I'd save the whole idea for folks that are doing extreme overclocking.
