we have tons of refridgerators we throw away here every few months, we have about 30 of them at the moment.

last night my friend came over and saw my prometeia and told me we have lots of them compressors, I asked my boss if I could have some of them, she said she doesn't care cause all we are gonna do is throw them away anyways.

anyways, I was wondering if I could make something from one of them for a videocard, I already have a prometeia, so that taken care of (kinda)

but it would be cool to be able to use one on a videocard, I can get access to a metal shop rather easily to design a block, or copy one or whatever...

I just need to know, can this be done?

to use a refridgerator compressor to make something to cool a videocard to sub zero temps.

Yes it can, I made my "drop in" evaporator from a freezer I dismantled.

With R134A I max out close to -25c
