This idea is not something I'm not too worried about, I'm not going to attempt it, so if anyone wants to steal it be my guest.

it would be very tough to pull off but...

It would hafta be a titanium, non window case (could make a windows version). The case would hafta be large.

There would hafta be a big slab seperating the outside and the inside...

The slab is very thick with no ventilation or holes in it...

Basically, in this slab, vents would blow freezing air constantly while your pc is on.

What the result should be is that that slab would be cold, but it wouldn't free the outside or the components of your pc, and would cool it better then water cooling if it worked.

Do you think it could?

So, it's as if the pc had it's own air conditioner then....blowing the cold air internally?

I think he means we move to Alaska, or Siberia, or Antarctica...

Personally I would go for the ultimate heatsink and suspend the processor a few nanometers above the event horizon of miniature black hole, say 5x10^3 metric tons.

Of course, it would be a bitch to get to a Lan party and you might find small household items (pens, paperclips, Volkswagens, etc) sticking to you PC case by gravity alone but if you want the best and can't be bothered making a Titianium walk-in fridge (why walk-in? I don't know - think you would just 'hafta') then some sacrifices just have to be made.

on a more serious(?) note. Why Titanium?

Or, you could create a stable wormhole that would rest just above the CPU that you could use to draw the heat into a parallel universe, thereby eliminating the possible ramifications of having to deal with the gravity effects of a blackhole. You'd just have to work out a few minor details like the time space continuim thing and housing a thermonuclear generator to power the wormhole.

I think what he is talking about is a sealed case with all the moisture taken out of the air inside then something like one of those arctic chill AC units (the ones that run liquid freon over the CPU itself) but since the case would be sealed then condensation wouldnt be a problem (of course serviceing, repairs and upgrades might present a problem.....) Anyway its a good idea and I think it has been done to a point.

They actually got a Processor overclocked to 500ghz through deep cold. here is an article on it. I know there is more information out on it... but I'm too lazy to look.

Low moisture is a breeding ground for static......

What d'ya think? Absolute Zero over clocking, worth a shot?

I think the black hole and wormhole ideas are more feasible than the absolute zero overclocking...

I still say get a watertight case and fill it with liquid nitrogen =)

I have an ex-girlfriend who could suck the chrome off a bumper, heat from an overclocked CPU would be nothing for her.

But doing that the pressure would build up. You've just cooled your pc and inadvertantly built a bomb.

Psh, we got exploding laptops already, I want to see some exploding desktops...

Actually, have any of you guys checked out the exploding IBM laptop, its a hilarious story. Kudos to the guy.

I'm not talking internal cooling.

I'm talking a case within a case.

On the outside of the case is a huge slab of titanium, inside this titanium gets blown freezing air, the kind of air in a freezer.

None of this air would ever hit the pc, but since it would sorround the pc, it would cool down the pc...

Well, the titanium case within a case wouldn't be that huge, it would only be big enough to keep the air away from the case, but small enough to let the air cool down the case.

I like the thought but it would be too expensive to run and the room would be freezing (I'm assuming you are trying to cool the outside plate to tranfer the heat/cold on to the inside one.) Even assuming it would work I would bet between the heat of the computer and the coolness of the plate you would get massive amounts of condensation. Realisticly if you are going to cool the titanium plate you might as well just put the computer in a refrigerator. Probably won't be as high tech and definitly not as much of a conversation piece ... but who knows .... you could pull cold beers out of your computer while your playing games!
