i was just wondering if anyone had thought of building a computer inside a fridge or freezer

i saw a thread the other day where someone used liquid nitrogen, maybe you could use a nitrogen cooling system instead of water

its a stupid idea i know but just wondered if anyone had ever tried it
the main idea being that you can overclock it more...

It's been done.
The biggest problem is condensation.
If you can keep it dry at the same time, it does work.
You can even submerse the computer in mineral oil (non-conductive) and then cool the oil to below water's freezing point. Messy, but it also works well.

Some have installed ductwork to send ac into their case, usualy a 4u case in size.
