You are going to need a really big refrigeration system to handle that kind of heat load if you plan sub-0 cooling. Most of us battle cooling 1.

If you use the phase change from a freezer, not a fridge, you should have little trouble :)

A freezer has liitle more cooling capacity than the freezer section of a fridge. Any domestic freezer would never cope with that kind of load. If you estimate that each unit is producing 100W of heat and I know from my own system specs that it only just copes with 100W then you would need the capacity of at least 4 domestic type fridge/freezers.

Tiger is right... but a lot depends on the CPU's you want to cool. If this monster 4-PC system consists of P200's...

ok well one system will be my web server since it doesnt seem like it wants to sell its dual celeron 366@550, then another is going to be my system which will change around alot, then one is going to be my network server that handels my proxy and file sharing, and the last will be a folding box the network server and this will be durons with a minimal overclock.

i plan to use a 1/4 hp compressor
