Air Conditioned Computer Enclosures!?

[macko089djhg89io]

when i was in a rabbit hole i found this https://www.dustfreepc.com/product-category/enclosures/air-conditioned-computer-enclosures/?_sft_pa_enclosure-features=air-conditioned

could be a good video idea

 

turns out they are specifically for Lasers, laser heads, laser controllers, etc. it keeps dust and other contaminants out.

does anyone know anything about this?

But what about the RGBz?

 

I dunno man.. I live in Canada.. it gets pretty cold here haha.

for 5k no...ac a house for that

Not worth it. Taking a look at the spec sheets, it could only support probably mid range cpu/gpu that draws a continues 400w or lower power consumption. For the price, It's actually much better just buy an AC to cool the whole room. Or if you don't care about the cost, create a duck from your pc case's exhaust thru the windows. So that cold are goes into your case and the hot air doesn't circulate back to the room.

Don't try to exhaust your PC's hot air through a duck. They are a**hole birds that will likely crap all over your desk.

 

A duct on the other hand...

I don't even want to edit it now, as other reading your post might not get it

something i've been curious about is if you get better heat transfer is your case is pressurized (more air molecules should mean more heat transfer, right?) and if that has any real world impact.

 

so.. pressurized container (i'm thinking like 4-5 bar tops, nothing actually dangerous) with an AC chilling the inside air.

 

theoretically if you then also dehumidify the air inside, you could conceivably cool the inside air WAY down without condensation problems.

Have you ever looked inside your furnace / AC system? Even with the filter, I would call it anything but dust free.

[macko089djhg89io]

would be cool to put in an actual pc case

[OhYou_]

this is the kind of stuff you like put a pc in to control sometyhing in like a steel factory or something that gets massively hot. or like outdoor equipment. 
I've seen roadside LCD advertizing boards up close, the kind that are at like pedestrian height in city streets, they have a similar a/c unit on them.

get a dozen garbage bags, tear out the bottom and connect via duct tape.

Attach this artificial tube one side to your AC, other side to your intake fans and enjoy

 

 

I thought one similar appeared in one of linus's videos

Back in the late 90s, I remember buying something from... I think it was from Cooler Master, and it called itself an "air conditioner."  I don't think it actually WAS one, mind you, but it called itself one.  Whether it worked or not, I don't know, because it didn't fit in the case and so I wound up never using it.

This is the first time I’m seeing this Dust Free site! I need to explore it more. That said, OP, air-conditioned PCs seem like a complicated and expensive setup just for a simple gaming rig.

Interesting.

Can't be conventional AC.

Most likely using peltier cooling plates as the cold source/heat exchanger.
