Computer cooling
Work carried out by the Optoelectronics group of the University of California could possibly lead to super-efficient cooling of computers.
They have devloped a 'refridgerator' the size of a grain of sand to keep computer cpus cool. It works by using the thermoelectric effect of alternating silicon and germanium.Trials have produced a cooling of up to 7 centigrade. http://fusion.ece.ucsb.edu/~web/fan00plds.pdf |

There is always the freezer... I think I'm going to write an article on mini-fridge modding.

Actually the results you'd expect are not what you end up with, condensation etc: gets to the board, there was an article on the net a year or so ago when some guys oc'd a 486 dx 2 75 to to like 200 i think...plus they did it drunk so it was a good read... |
