Well, upon reading this at first I had to laugh as well. But wouldn't it be an extremly feasible and practical solution? I mean, just set the fridge to 10 C, and be done with it. Why not? A fridge makes less noise than some computer fans (I think -- long time since I consciously listened to my fridge), and sure is a lot cheaper than those ridiculous $1000 solutions... -- Hendrik Jan Veenstra <h@...> Omega Art: http://www.omega-art.com

I very very often have thought of doing this or of just sticking the refrigeration unit from a normal fridge in some kind rack that could hold a CPU. The only catch is that the plumbing and charging of a refrigeration unit is beyond most of us, including me, I think.

Although I complained like hell at the time about the shoddy workmanship and other problems, I'm far happier listening to the 2 very quiet IsoBox fans rather than the WindTunnel G4 fans changing gears and driving around at varying speeds. Then again, a fridge might do it..... Regards - Colin
