Beyond water cooling. (Was Re: Peltier devices for cooling)

[Paul Perry]

If you put a radio in a bar fridge, you might find it isn't much of an
insulator, soundwise, owing to being full of styrofoam that conducts
sound perfectly well(unlike the old days when fridges weighed a ton and were
using glass wool).
In fact if you put your ear up close to a bar fridge you can hear cans of 
Fosters saying 'Drink Me! Drink Me!'

In secondhand office furniture places, there often are acoustic enclosures for 
the old high-speed impact printers (all this is laser now).
If you find one, they are very cheap & you can put a computer or two in easy.

Before anyone goes too far, I'd suggest recording something while turning
the computer 
on and off, just to see whether the computer mechanical noise DOES impact on 
what you are  doing. It might only be annoying YOU!
