sub zero server cooling

[PcForge]

I am considering getting a couple servers and keeping them in my room.  I know that servers are normally loud so i was cooling to water cool it. I also didn't want to put out more heat into my room so i had the idea to use a phase change cooler to cool the coolant (probably antifreeze) but would the temps affect acrylic or glass and is there anything else that would be wrong with this.

Condensation, massive energy usage, and probably even more noise.

 

I've got two Dell servers an R610 and R620 in the closet in my room and I can't hear them under normal load with the default fans, even with the door open.

The phase change cooler would not help temperatures in your room due to the laws of thermodynamics. Rather, it will be worse than just using a normal cooler due to tre heat produced by the compressor and other parts.

Sub zero cooling will put even more heat into your room.. The heat energy removed from the CPU by the cooler doesn't just disappear into the great unknown.

 

Also, if you get a 4U case you can easily slap some Be Quiet! 120mm fans in it and the server will be perfectly quiet.

oh makes sense

the heat output is the thing I am concerned about is there anything I can do about that.

Anti-freeze just creates problems and doesn't improve cooling.

 

Anti-Freeze has to get to extremely high temperatures in order to be effective. CPU temps don't get that high.

Not really besides undervolting.

The only solution would be to dump the heat outside of the occupied space.  That's how air conditioners work, they don't make your house colder, they take the heat from inside and dump it outside.
