All windsheild washer solution is is low grade anti freeze.  Most bottles of it say windsheild washer/antifreeze.

  Don't know anymore my brain hurts.

go here: http://www.hartscientific.com/products/bathfluid.htm

it has a list of different fluids scientists generally use for pumping in different temperature ranges. it looks like you'd want silicone oil type 200.05 or silicone oil type 200.10. that allows for being able to pump it in both extreme heat and cold.

damn dude, if u want subzero so bad why don't u get a air compressor cooler?

[viridius]

Keep in mind you'd want something with a high specific heat.  No use in getting a liquid that freezes low but can't carry enough heat to be efficient.  The perfect choice would be helium.  High specific heat, cheap, and will not freeze at standard pressure.  However, it's density leaves something to be desired.

like I said, TEC's are the way to go, leave the water cooling to handle the heat, and use the TECS to cool the cpu's, easiest way to get low temps.

That's not the point WS. The poitn is to create a cooling solution that does not need a sh*t ton of fans to cool the computer.

  I did not say it would be easier. This is basically a kind of stealth cooling thing that I have been tossing around for about a week or so in my head.  


 The whole point of it was to try and come up with a virtually silent way of cooling a CPU and possibly GPU and maybe even a PSU without having to use fans except to provide some airflow through the case. If this idea were to work you may not even need to use fans to cool the case because the tank with the coils will be cold and will provide some cooling to the internal air in the case as a side benefit.

pour liquid nirogen into a cup... there you go -170 c off cooling power AND its silent

Right up until the cup pours out
