    Wow, I can't believe anyone has not said this.

    Instead of using a radiator, which wouldn't be that effective, you need to use a A/C style heat pump. If you do some research on Google, you might be able to find out how to build your own (I don't know how possible it is, though). An A/C just pumps hot air out, so if you could vent the exhaust of the A/c, which would be placed at the front of the case, to the back, I think most of your problems (except the electricity bill) would be solved.

    Of course it's possible. Infact, this is what you would need to do to get the water flowing through the rad cool enough to cool the incoming air.

    Essentailly, you would have the evaporator submerged in a reservoir with a cooling loop with a radiator in it. The advantage of this technique over straight airconditioning is that you would be able to use the same chilled water to cool the processor/gpu etc with standard watercooling components.

    If the case is sealed, then the internal air temp would probably be much lower as you keep cooling the same air rather than introducing new, warm air all of the time.

    That said, I REALLY wouldn't mess with refrigeration unless you know what you are doing. It would require a LOT of reading up, a lot of expensive equipment, and a lot of experience in the field wouldn't go amiss either.

    Another solution would be to watercool the main heat producing components and use an external rad. A good way to get most of the heat out of a case.

    we had an ide that you can take a mini-fridge to cool down the air some hove.butt then it's the problem with the water in the air. :wallbash:

    Mini fridges are simply not powerful enough for cooling applications were thermal energy is constantly being generated. Think about it, the can of coke you put in your mini-fridge isn't producing 250W of thermal energy, (a reasonable estimate for an entire high powered system) and it still takes a good hour or so to cool it down.

    hmm but it still cools it down.
    :rolleyes: what if you use the mini-f. sa an reservoir you seal it up ore you put som kind of an reservoir in to it so it cool the wather down.
    wath do you think off that 8-ball? :rolleyes:
    but then ther is the problem with sealing it up

    Sorry, you appear to not be listening.

    A mini fridge is simply not powerful enough for any kind of cooling other than simply cooling the contents which are SEALED in and do NOT generate heat.

    Have you ever noticed how putting warm food in a freezer will more than likely defreost the whole thing.

    As I said, fridges/freezers are NOT designed for cooling things which generate heat.

    If you are working on a budget, then why not just shop around for a new cheap midi case, that has lots of fan slots / cooling abilites? :wallbash:

    No offence mate, but it wont :duh:

    Have you tried the obvious, like tidying up your wires and making sure all the heatsinks are free of dust and the fans spinning properly. My 1700+ and 9700pro doesnt get as hot as your system with only 1 case fan..
