Had an idea I would like to share

This is about water cooling. Would it be possible to use a small minifridge, cut two round holes for tubing in it's side, plus a third smaller hole for power cables. And install the radiator with fans inside the minifridge. Of course you would have to plug the holes real well, like with 2 step epoxy ( if the thermal reaction didn't mess with the tubing ) Now I was thinking that fans need a power source to spin(condensation = shock), but would we even need fans on the rad in the minifridge if we set the temp real low? Just brainstorming here. Although the minifridge would have to be next to the computer, otherwise the coolant would loose its low temp before it reached the cpu block. Is this possible or am I just day dreaming too much I have seen similar devices on frozencpu, but this is more of a DYI project.

Good idea!
Then if you get parched from being on the computer all day you could open the fridge and have a beer or two even a cold sandwich.

If you opt to try this, take note that the power for the fridge need to be isolated from the power for the computer. You do not want a cheap inductive motor starting up on the same outlet supplying a computer.

I'll leave it to you to research the BTUs/hour for a mini-fridge and what is needed to cool a computer.

You will be using air to transfer the temps inside the mini-fridge to the radiator that leads to your computer. Air is not very efficient and neither are those mini-fridges - you electric bill would show that.

Well like I said, this isn't something I am going to build, I am just bouncing ideas of you guys. I know it's quite funny, but if people never had crazy ideas where would we be I know the TCO would be enormous and ROI minimal. But hey, it never hurts to think and after all, we were given a noggin, so let's use it and come up with new intuitive ways to cool our computers! Tin foil hats on! Atten HUT! Can do vapor phase cooling too like in the pic.
