Made an external PC Case, made a remote controlled mini split type A/C unit, Painted and modified the internal PC case,custom cut all the wirings and connectors of the PSU`s, modified the 2 PSU`s and put an automatic voltage leveler on the 12 volt sides

This is my final build of my gaming rig as of this year LOL, all my system specifications are still the same as before except for the motherboard and the memory sticks, my sister gave me the mobo, and the dominator sticks are from assassin48 (thanks bro!, this sticks gets chilled on my case LOL) A friend of mine swapped his 7750+ on my current 5200+ cause his mobo cannot be overclocked, when will the fun ever stop LOL

Dont leave the lcd off if the temp drops below 0C.

Other than that, great idea... ;-)

Wow, I must say man, the Refrigerated PC has came a LONG way since you first posted it all.. I'm very happy to see how it came out if you say that's the final.

Very good job man. Yeah, the LCD is different being in there, but all good stuff! I've thrown rolling computer in a freezer for 2 hours with no problems..


9/10 man

I want it to be dust-free LOL, its not really that cold inside the casing, its only 15 C hovers to 18 C, on the OS1 win XP SP3 (for browsing and applications) its all in stock speeds, OS2 win XP SP3 (only for games) CPU-3.03 GHZ @ 26 idle and 34 @ load, memory 1005 MHZ 4-4-4-12 @ 2.1V, videocard 642 mhz/2220 mhz @ 46 C idle full load @ 63 C, overclock all my settings on windows, that`s why I really liked this mobo bro, no need to boot-up to configure the BIOS to overclock, I did it in the windows environment with no errors :)

Asus states that the operating temps on their LCD product is from -20°C to +105°C, im not reaching those temps (5°C to 15°C only), They better be accurate on thier specs. cause im running this for 6 months now, but so far as ived observed, just no dust particles LOL
