I know what you're talking about man... I have this ghetto ducting job going on here..

Open window/door -> fan ducted to go between couch and wall -> ducted to shoot upwards at my readily open case.

Hey, it works... when I left to go to work today my CPU was idling at a staggering 39c. I have this set up now it's idling at 28c with a 32c load.

It's about 30ishF outside right now... so i'm not TOO cold :D

Has anyone tried putting a reservoir or their radiator w/fans under their house in the crawlspace? It stays cool under there year round, so I wonder how it would work?

I read an article on the web where an English fellow took an aluminum medical oxygen tank, tapped lines in and out of it. He then buried it eight feet in the ground for geothermal cooling.

It worked good for him, but man I am not that ambitious! Digging is too much like manual labor. This guy used a post hole digger to dig an eight foot deep hole! Plus you would need a super pump with that much head height.

I tried to find this site again, and couldn't. Had neat pics. He went to some local agency and found out that anything below 4 feet in his area was a constant 57 degrees F. So to be sure he went Eight feet down!

After I posted this, I found the thread about BladeRunner. The article I referred to was about a different guy. So, that makes two peeps who have used Geothermal cooling.
