i doubt that will work, the air will slowly get warmer and warmer it will just take longer, i think

I too am unsure if fans will aid or hinder the water cooling setup. If thier are enough components in the water kit, no extra fans would be neccesary. Also note that the less power we use the easier it will be on the PSU and the cooler it will stay, whether mounted internal external , or our nitched in theory.

i saw a realy cool PSU a few days ago and you just reminded me, quietpc sell a watercooled 450W PSU , that will remove even more heat out of the warm/room temp side, so basically all of the things that make heat can be cooled by water

To me this idea seemd un-practical and a bit lazy on Watchman's part, why would you risk endangering the case and system for the convienance of a closer cold beer. I say forget it and move the fridge closer to the couch.

i wouldn't say it was a perfect solution but its pretty damn good even if i do say so myself

if i had the budget then i'd definatley build it, unfortunatley i cant see that being any time soon

Edit: the promethia and phase chnge systems aren't the most practical things in the world (not that having your PC in a fridge is) but leaving your system on 24/7 isn't something everyone does (which you have to with phase change or it will stop working from the extreme temps)
