I am getting into all of this phase changing crap.. Unfortunatly I cannot keep it simple and just cool my CPU and be done with it.. NNNNOOOO!!! I need to do something grand and great!

Anyway.. I'm confronted with electrical use. I am doing this entire setup to cut down on the use of electricity from my 172w peltier running off of a 24v @ 12.5amp PSU... So that's like 300w an hour .. Plus my PC.. and monitor.. hell.. I am using WAY to much electricity .. plus I want to put an A/C unit in this room and that just won't happen if I am still using more electricity then my microwave!

Anyway.. I am just curious.. I am looking at setting this stuff up but I am on a limited budget.. so um.. cheap is the essence..

I am looking at getting this fridge from Sears.

Sears

Sears Item #04691171000
Mfr. Model #91171

My so called "plan" would be to either yank everything out of this sucker .. this be hard to do?

Or just heavily insulate the freezer compartment and stick my resevior in there... Hell.. I'd probably just water proof the sucker and put cut the top of the frige open above the freezer and put a thick piece of lexan there .. so I can see down into the freezer.

Anyway.. I would just water proof the freezer compartment and put my pump and all that crap right in and pour water directly in.. then use the rest of the fride space to store like.. food or something lol.

Any idea on my water temps if I did this .. with a Tbird 1.4GHz.. OC'd to 1.6GHz at 1.75V... or 1.80V..

I am building a new case out of wood and acrylic... So what I would do is if the water was cold enough I would run it through my danger den super cube radiator and use a low CFM fan to blow through it. The radiator would be inside my case and the fan would blow off cold air. I would circulate this air around my case then to bring the entire case down to 60F or 70F.. maybe even lower? I am lining the entire case with neoprene rubber.. thin layer of it. I would like to keep everything compact and in the case or at most right outside of it.. I really do not want a whole frige sitting outside of my case!

Thanks.
