wanting to put small fridge in my computer

[polardude1983]

I have a total of 5 5.25" drive bays. the top one is being used by a dvd burner. the second from top will hopefully be a lightscribe burner. What i would like to do to the bottom three is turn it into a drink holder.

I believe i can put 4 dr. pepper cans standing up in the bottom 3. which would be neat. What also would be better is if i can have a way to chill those 4 cans. I know i would have to take out the bottom 3 drive bay covers. then add some kind of big door.. and then other stuff. So it would be like a mini fridge

is there anybody that can help me? or get me started in the right way? my case is a NZXT Apollo case

Yes indeed we can! Have a look at this thread (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8838) where Jergerjon happens to have made a single can cooler mounted in his case. It will give you something to go on.

Here's (http://usb.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=00286) another one that may require less custom fabricating than Jergerjon's

[Air Cooling Fan]

howe about combining the drinks cooler into a cooling system for the case itself? I've often thought about trying to cool the air my fans are sucking in

that would be way to much of a strain on the system.

Spawn: What if it were watercooled and you put a loop, like a mini radiator, in the mini-fridge. If it didn't cool the watercooling liquid below dewpoint, I suppose it could help with the cooling.

[Spawn-Inc]

if you just wanted it to cool the water only i guess but it might put some strain on it. i would sooner get a tec or peltier and make a custom plexi res with a heatsink in it with the tec or peltier straped to it and cool the water that way. its been talked about before on the forums here.
