    I wouldn't mind buying a low end PC and trying this over a month or two and see if it still runs. That'd be a lot of dry ice though, and I'd have to find some electrical method of cooling the liquid without letting any condensation near the main components.

    Maybe once I get a decent paying job I could afford this :D

    There is no condensation if it's fully submerged.

    Additionally, the fluid will eventually gel when the temperature gets low enough.

    I'd think the system would still run even if the liquid is a gel. Perhaps not. :scratch::hrm:

    He means the other electrical components that you didnt submerge. You still have to protect those from vapor.

    The only vapor being emitted from the dry ice and OptiCool is the sublimation process of the dry ice. The dry ice sublimes directly from its solid state to its gaseous CO2 form. This ambient CO2 bonds instantly with the oxygen particles in the atmosphere and leaves no condensation of any sort.

    Thanks Tbonz! :D

    OK that works. What about when you blew on it? No condensation would form?

    This has been done 4 years (year 2000) earlier by some crazy people at OCTools.com. They actually did it twice. They used Flourinert, Liquid Nitrogen and Dry Ice. Their project has been copied a lot of times already as well. Good thing though to see a lot of people trying it.

    Yeah. That's what I based my project off of. I referenced it several times and mentioned it in the documented summary I handed in for the competition which I entered with this project.

    I wanted to see the project myself, and how it would react to a newer generation of HCFCs. It was fun :)
