Makes sense...what would happen to a hd sealed in a vacuum sealed box? would it remove the heat source?(air/turbulance) I'm not sure, can there be turbulance in a vacuum? I would guess not, remembering the science museum field trip where they drop a feather in a vacuum and it drops like a rock...hey don't crack on me I had to reach back to the early 80's to remember that.
I wonder if this scenerio would work: I make an acrylic box, vacuum pump out the air using something like one of those food vacuum systems via a flapper seal(no idea the technical name for it, where there is a hole covered by a piece of rubber and the vacuum in the box holds the rubber flap in place. ) be interesting to see the temp differences...and where on a hd would I place the tc sensor?
