I have kind of a crazy idea... I have a huge exaust fan in my attic... I was thinking that I could get a large automotive radiator and mount it under the exaust fan and run hoses down into my studs (behind the wall) and out a nice wall jack into my computer (I would have a shut off valves on the hoses (mounted nicely in the wall) so I could refil easily). I would put the resivoir in my computer for easy refils too.

How well would a car radiator work? Would I be better off using a few blackice extremes connected together instead?

What do you think?

Well, In the winter it would be very nice. Look out for condensation though.
In the summertime, my attic can get to 60C+ (no fan though), you might be asking for problems.

That's also a long way for a waterpump to push. Carefully check the distance against what your pump can do before you start cutting the walls open.

Those two things aside, you could sure put some crazy mad fannage up in the attic, while keeping the noise way down.

Have fun.
