Aardil Thank you one and all for your comments and helpful advise. Since I do live in South Lousiana ( and the Humidity does reach into the upper 90% range Although thats only during the Monsoon season. You know, that short time of the year between January and November) The rest of the year the Humidity is a comfortable 85%. Too Many days around here I see the Humidty Higher than the temp. So If I was to go to phase change or chiller, I would need to heavily insulate against condensation.
I agree. I used to live down in Red Stick during my pre-computer days, and remember how hot and sticky it got, and how you would get condensation on anything that gave you the slightest excuse. (especially when I worked on the river...)

I would be very hesitant to go sub-ambient at all, but if I did, I would probably be inclined to go with a pelt mounted on the CPU, with a WC system to cool the pelt. That way you would only need to worry about insulating the CPU area, as everything else in the system would be above ambient.
