So in the vein of Linus' whole room water cooling I am considering trying something similar.  My office gets very hot when running my gaming rig.  It is however located right next the wall that my office shares with the garage.  So I am considering mounting the radiators in the garage and running the tubing through fittings in the wall.   

 

Any real downsides to doing this besides the limiting of moving the computer and having to get a more powerful pump?  

Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly; the ill deeds along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly.

Other than many hours of work it doesn't pose a whole lot trouble. Cleaning and flushing the system may be an effort due to the shear size of the loop. Also if your garage isn't heated and depending on where you live you have to make sure the garage doesn't get below the freezing point of water. Otherwise there may be a chance of ice in you lines. Good Luck!
