This seems much more complicated than is necessary. It costs ~$200 for a 7 ft^3 chest freezer and ~$50 for a fridge thermostat with the required temperature set

- trafficlight 14y agoPeople don't do these things for the practicality of them.
- Zenst 14y agoTotaly true, I'm thinking he could then look at expanding it into a beer-cooled PC setup. Practical would be a heating system that used hot water you heated up via a water cooled PC/running pipes via the cooling grid of the home freezer. That would be practical and yet has not been done but I think you will agree the beer-cooled PC does stands a better chance, just because it involves geeks and beer and I'll drink to that.
- camiller 14y agoYeah, I'm thinking for simple temp control a TI launchpad MSP430 would suffice and at a mere $4.30 for the micro-controller better for the budget.

- HeyLaughingBoy 14y agoActually if you look around some of the Chinese deal sites, you can find $50 ramp/soak PID temperature controllers. At that price, it's downright dumb to DIY.
