I found out another way to prevent condensation problems (notice I said the problems, not condensation).

My latest attempt to keep condensation away with my system didn't work (with my water chiller setup). As I was sitting in disgust about the failure of the $36 worth of neoprene I had carved out, I decided to see if kept everything cold enough to freeze the condensation if maybe ice doesn't conduct electricity.

So I let my cooler get the temperatures down to -28c (with the computer off) and put a fan blowing on the insides of my computer (to help evaporate anything on the outside).

I turned it on and it worked fine, now this will only work if your cooling solution is able to keep things very cold even when running full speed (which luckily mine can keep things at -16.5c full speed), otherwise your ice will turn back into water and you'll have the problems again.

Anyhow I though I would share my discovery with ya'll.
