IS IT POSSIBLE TO RUN MY COMPUTER TO COOL?
IF I RUN SOME DUCT WORK FROM MY AC TO THE INSIDE OF MY CASE, COULD I LITTERLY "FREEZE" MY COMPUTER
 
ok, go to search, and searh for "ac cooling" and "ducting from ac"

it doesent take long and saves people alot of time answering whats already been anwered in depth before....
 
YES

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ICE UP THE PARTS, HOWEVER

AS MENTIONED, USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION IN TOP RIGHT
 
yeah you can duct your AC into the case. i'd watch it carefully though because you could get condensation in the case. it may be best just to duct the cold air into a case fan and not directly on the CPU as the drastic heat change would def give you condensation.
 
You will not have any problem with this.

The only thing that you could possibly encounter is condensation if you were to take the side off of your computer and the components were much colder than the room air coming into the case - but there won't be a large enough temperature difference to cause condensation unless you live somewhere that is very humid. So don't even worry about that.

If you plan to use the search function, taking the advice given to you in the other posts will do you no good... You cannot use search terms shorter than four letters because it is too hard on the server hardware - so you cannot search for a term such as "AC". You could however use these terms instead "conditioning", "cool", and "duct"... I used those terms and found these three useful threads, take a look to see what other people have tried. It will help you if you want to do this:

I hope that helps. :beer:

Condensation only forms on subambient surfaces, the surfaces could not be any colder than the air being pumped in... If condensation were to form it would form on the outside of his case if it got cold enough, because the room air would be warmer than the case. However, inside the case the air will be the coldest thing and condensation will not be a problem.
 
it will work fine, i can't remember who, but someone in this forum has his comp set up like that.
