I am going to try water cooling my PC soon and I want to use a frige to cool the reservoir, but I am really scared of the condensation. Currently I am running a normal window fan straight into my computer which only creates a low humm. Would it be possible to just use this fan to keep the condensation from forming? If not, does anyone have any pics of how to insulate? I have read everything I can on insulation but I am not sure how to apply it to the CPU socket or the waterblock. I keep hearing people talk about 3 types of insulation and wonder what to use where. Can anyone lend me a hand?
 
Thank you so much camel. The last piece of the puzzle finally falls into place. I can finally proceed.

No problem...

I was looking for something else when I ran across it, and remembered your post. :)

Wish I had found it two weeks ago before I put together my W/C, might have gone the extra mile, and did that myself. I probably dont need it my rad sits in front of a window A/C unit, and unless I go idle for awhile it doesnt get cold enough for condensation. I did play around the other night, and sorta shrouded the A/C to get all the air through the rad, and had it down to 15c then everything was sweating :)
