You want your PC to stay cool in order to always achieve the best performance! But, don’t you think what is shown to you in the picture is a bit too much? That is a new release CPU case by ProStreet that has a super cooler apparently made up of 66 fans! More pictures after the jump!
It’s got 20 fans each on the left and the right side, 8 fans each on rear and front sides and 10 on the top and all together a total of 66 fans! Some guys here might have gone a bit too far or little crazy and obsessed with CPU cooling system, a picture below shows you a complete frozen PC wrapped in ice!
Update: As pointed out by one of our commentators, if you take a closer look, you would notice that something wrapped in ice having an IDE cable and a serial ATA power connector connected, which shows that the “something” in ice is not the entire PC. Instead, it’s an hard drive that is wrapped in the ice to ensure it’ll never get hot!

So cool. (no pun intended). thanks for sharing.

That ice picture isn’t a complete computer, it’s just a single hard drive.
Note the standard molex connection for power in, and also the IDE connection. Oh, and the fact that it DOESN’T EVEN RESEMBLE A COMPUTER, it’s obviously the size and shape of a harddrive…

thats freaking awsome

Uhh.. wouldn’t freezing a hard drive in ice break it somehow? Aren’t there ratings for that?
Anyway, I think the computer case should be frozen in ice, then the pars put in and the fans on the outside. THEN it would be super cold.

What about the ice thawing and the resulting water screwing up the lot?

The ice covered hard drive was from an old joke about freezing your hard drive to recover a broken drive… supposed to just baggie it, not dunk it
I’m hoping that ppl on this site realize that. If not, go surf birdwatching sites cuz tech is not for you!

i wanna see benchmarks. haha

Another weird method, Double boil hard drive to recover data

Freezing your hard drive will not help. According to this massive google hard drive study, temperature is not as closely linked to hard drive failure as many think. In fact running a little warm may actually be good for the drive.

It looks like you forgot about the 10 coolers on the bottom, so there are even 76 of them!

lol ready, for ubersupermega hyper overclocking xDDDDDD

dont those fans make shit loads of noise?

This casing will accumulate dust and cover your pc parts in few days, dust insulates the heat from venting out, also compromises contacts. Too low temperatures affects mecahanical moving parts of cd dvd drives and hardisks, SSDs might be a better solution, How about modify a refs’ freezer into a computer casing, now i think no one has ever done that.

Um….to correct the “update” caption….it’s not a serial ATA power connector. You can’t plug a IDE cable into a serial ATA hard drive. The power cable you see in the pic would have to be a standard molex power connector as stated by one of the other commentors.
I also wouldn’t recommend anyone to actually try this. As we all know, water and electronics don’t exactly mix to well….and ice is made out of what? Water! So how would you protect the drive from the water while it is freezing -and- how would you protect the drive from water when it starts to melt from the inside out? Not to mention all the condensation that would accumulate on the inside of the drive -and- there’s a reason why there’s a hole on the top of the drive marked “DO NOT COVER” Wouldn’t covering the drive in ice be covering the hole?

ya know that if you scoll the page up and down the fans in the top picture apear to rotate.
August 10th, 2009 at 2:29 am
i mean the 2nd picture.

Just a correction on the people that think the ice will melt and water will ruin the HDD.
The ice used in computer cooling method is not frozen water it is frozen Oxygen (also commonly refered to as dry ice) so when the ice defrosts, there is no liquid involved that can damage the electronics.
October 26th, 2009 at 7:12 am
Another correction. Dry ice is frozen Carbon Dioxide, not oxygen

Why you use lots of cooling fan instead use one or two exhaust fan the one that we use in a bathroom and and put it on side by side of your CPU and that is much better cooling system!! LOL

I think it sounds like an airplane when all of ‘em are running:))….anyway…cool

Oh come on, who’s hard drive gets hot enough that it necessitates ice armor?
