I have a project for witch I need help...ideas on how to do it.
I want to build a my own tower to include a refrigerator cooling coil in it.
What I need are your ideas on how to do it.
I want to build a sealed compartment in witch I'll place the Motherboard, CPu and expansion cards along with the cooling coil of a refrigerator cooling system. Everything else will be placed outside this compartment.
There are some practical problems. The power unit produces too much heat so it must be placed outside, then how to build the tower, how to hold the external drives (CDROM, etc)...
I need some ideas...I've came up with some ideas but all had one or two problems...so, I'm asking all of you: how would you do it? How would you build a two compartment case (one of them sealed) with all the hardware included?

Hoppe to hear from you all...

Not sure if directly cooling the tops of the PCB boards is very effective, not only that nearly every expansion card is of a different size or shape. Lava serial and parallel port accelerator cards were often wedge shaped. NIC cards, such as 3Com cards, are relatively short in height.
