Cooling idea - your thoughts

I was thinking about water cooling and buying a kit, and then thought maybe it would be cool if i had the tube running out from the case into a mini fridge, through a container of cool liquid, back out the mini fridge into the case, into the pump and then the cool water being pumped round the cpu block, out to the radiator, back into the gpu water block, and then out to the fridge. What are your thoughts on this idea?

Nice idea! Seems plausable but I doubt that it would keep your beer that cold .

Thanks i tried to show it visually



Ive cooled the cpu and then cooled it from radiator before cooling the GPU, is this a good or bad idea?

Ive put a glass of water in the fridge to test and its pretty cold after 5 mins or so, bit loud tho .

Also does anyone know if i would need another pump in the circuit or would it be able to pump through all of that tubing

Keep tabs on condensation build up.

Looks good =) But I hate the leaks

Its only a small fridge it doesnt get too cold to cause much condensation to be trouble. - Leaks?

PGK makes a good point, when you have cold water coming out of the fridge and into the warm air, it's bound to have condensation build-up. What you may try is surrounding the tubing with foam, and near the waterblock cover everything up with silicon so any condensation that does form wont drip down onto the motherboard.

As for the fridge working, I would actually go with a freezer, and use a liquid that has a low freezing point, even a bucket of anti-freeze thats used in cars would work. That way you can have the water cooling tubes go through a liquid thats around 20-30F. Just make sure you have insulation around the tubing that goes in and out so it doesnt freeze.

Hmm yeh interesting point
although the fridge i plan on using if i did it isnt very powerful.
I could wrap electrical tape around the tubing to stop condensation dripping?
