For summer I did the same thing but shoved the tube into the AC and kept it there with duct tape. But condensation shorted out my cd drive and it kept opening on its own during use. But my cpu was running at 4C and overclocked 30%. >:D

The small screen on it makes it EASY to see wich brand it is <.< it can be used for some basic texts and such, quite lame tho..

Sorry, just wanted to point out the irony of saying that someone spends too much time on their computer, when a keyboard can be recognized from a pretty crappy picture.

I have a friend who had a similar radical idea to cool his computer. He used a liquid cooling system which connected to his pool. He had 0 fans in the setup and the computer stayed very cool all throughout the year.

If you’re referring to water droplets getting into the stream, they should be filtered out by the AC filters The Creator put into the tube.
If you’re referring to water condensation, it can’t occur here… the common way to extract water from air is to cool it down, but since the air is the coolant here, it’s the coldest part of the setup, so everything else is just warming it up, thus adding to its ability to absorb water rather than taking away.
I tell ya, this is one badass setup.

Dumb ass, its an intake fan for cool air from outside to flow to the CPU.

About as much as it likes being fed below ambient air.

you know, this is actually one of the best ideas ever…strange i know, but…if you can get some kinda filter on the end of that tube, you might just have a good way to cool your computer during the winter XD

For everybody wondering, that fan on the floor is indeed the cooling system from summer. However, the whole room would often heat up to around 85*F. Right now it’s cooling the router/modem/switch, as those tend to get quite hot with constant, heavy use.
