This was already made a couple of times (I even know a guy that had a system working like that for a couple months),  it's possible, but as stated above, condensation is a problem and it will kill the components.

There are cases with a fridge cooler on them, and they still have problems with condensation and water freezing.

Hello. I was wondering if I can put my PC in a fridge to keep it cool. I was thinking to maybe cut special holes for the power and internet wires, then insulating those wires and the area around the hole. Is this a bad idea? Please help :(

Yes, it is very damp inside a fridge.

Also, fridges generally aren't designed to cool things that produce heat on their own. That will wear out the compressor prematurely.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.
