drown the entire thing in water. by everything i only mean: cpu, GPU, and RAM.

 What exactly do you mean by this. 

 

Cause if you mean submerse the PC in water then that would kill the PC, obviously

 

And if you mean mineral oil, then I think that's slightly too expensive for a scrapyard wars challenge.

i think it would be cool to get water or coolant and turn the mobo upside down so the cpu will be cooled by the water, (they must use an airblock)

Console Killer?

 

They wouldn't get a cost budget so much as a performance one, They could try to make a PC that will match or outperform the PS4/XBox One for as cheap as possible.

They could be scored based on performance, cost, size, and aesthetics (since it would theoretically sit in a living room)

build a home theater pc out of cardboard

 

- get creative with cardboard cutting/folding

- get creative in finding a HTPC-friendly shape

- get creative in building a PC in said shape

- get creative in air-flow design

[Zubkover]

I'd love to see them making AIR cooling solutions from scratch now.
Without a PC budget... because... why bother, when copper is so high?

An oil submersed pc, cost of oil doesn't count!

1. free PC's. yes. they much source all parts for completely free. not allowed to use any hardware that they already own.

 

 

2. i cant think of anything else

the most powerful passive build at a certain price. and without the use of standard passive coolers and without throttling. so a bit like the current one but without the water.
