@Nomak: What? The reason I reacted like that was because I was joking about refrigerator computer cases. And now see what happened! Lol.

wouldn't those metal pipes leave condensation which would drip onto the motherboard?
nm- i guess they have foam around them- but who nows how effective. Edited by MarkNY - 23 Sep 2008 at 5:26pm |

That's why that site pointed out there's some specific part designed to avoid the condensation.

What's it to you?
You're not expecting them to add this to their line of cases so suddenly now do you? |

Phase change cooling isn't new, but this is the first time i have seen soneone actually try to put the compressor inside the case with the system. One thing I want to point out, aside from the obvious drawbacks to putting a source of heat inside the case (the compressor) is that with phase change cooling, you have to be careful of condensation on the cooling lines. Dripping water is very bad for electronics.

The complexity of phase change cooling is no different than creating a refrigerator. The problems only come in with trying to make it so small. The condensation control has to be a near complete "sealed" insulation layering of the cold lines feeding from the condenser to the cooling block. Any condensation on the lower lines can drip down harmlessly if everything is run along the bottom of the case. An A/C uses a tray to collect and drain condensation in this manner. IMO, phase change is the current limit of how far "practical" cooling can go for pcs.
Now, I can just imagine calling my A/C repairman in to fix my pc... LOL! Would he have some stories to tell back at the office... |
