Talking about computer cooling.

I am in great need of both something to do and better cooling for my computer so it can't be any more perfect than me building it myself:)

But I am a bit uncertain about how to best approach this.

This is the material I got:
Aluminum.
A heck of a lot of computer fans.
Copper pipes.
Wood.
Fridge and freezer compressors.
Two 230V AC to 12V DC converters.

I was thinking about making a box with fans which has one fan that suck air into the box, one fan that blows air from the box to the computer and a couple of fans that makes the air spin to make more wind.

I have heard that the air that is blown in can never get colder than the room temperature and that is why I am trying to think of a way to cool the air like using a freezer compressor.

Any ideas or tips? I am pretty much welcoming any suggestions at this point^^

Edit: I just thought about another way, I could build a water cooling rig from an old washing machine pump, but there is the questions about condensation and where to put the pipes or tubes.

Except for the fact that it would probably blow away my computer, my desk, me and probably most of my room it would actually be a good idea:p

I am serious about this, I have a AMD Athlon XP 2600+ Barton which has a these stats original:
FSB clock: 166Mhz
Clock Multiplier: 11.5
Total of: 1917Mhz

And I have currently clocked it to:
FSB clock: 176Mhz
Clock Multiplier: 11.5
Total of: 2024Mhz

I want to get it up to at least:
FSB clock: 200Mhz
Clock Multiplier: 11.5
Total of: 2300Mhz

And I need the cooling to support it, but am not sure about how to make it happen. I could use my original fan-box design and put an aluminum cooler there and put copper pipes filled with water in it as well and put a pump that pushes the water through, the question is still if it could handle the cooling of the processor and if there is any good way to prevent condensation on the piping.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
