Cooling idea...

[Afromancer]

So I have this idea... With my cooling its all fine and all, but today I cleaned it, and i noticed the air coming in from the window made the computer degrees go down almsost 5 degrees.

 

My idea is to have an outside air intake, litterely outside, and be able to either have it on or off on days like today, nice and chilly outside... I think this may be possible, somehwhat version of linus's whole room watercooling project... Just an idea

 

what do you think?

 

thanks guys

It would work during cold weather but once it gets warm or humid it's gonna be bad. If you used an air conditioner then you could probably get over that, but it would be really loud.

The ideal solution would be to use a ground water heat pump to provide cool air for your computer. 15 degrees year round, absolutely perfect. Of course, you would have to spend in the region of €15,000 to get it installed, but what's a small investment in the face of massive temperature gains?

 

In all seriousness, if you are actually going to make this outside air intake, I'd be interested to see some pictures.

It depends how hot it gets in your area, you can do something like Linus's whole room watercooling which would throw the heat outside if that's a big issue.

Someone did this on overclocks.net actually with a shallow geothermal loop:

Wow. Just wow...

Well this is just an idea, so i dont have any pictures. And to the question about regions, here it gets pretty chilly so im guessing it should work then, and for the summers ill just close it off. I think i can make a diagram though...
