I did a mod to my case to channel cold air from my window to my case.

This is for a Slot A Athlon ( you know the ones whose PCB generates extra heat bewteen the heatplate and heatsink because of the 512k mem chips.)

Get an AC :D, the only problem I had was that I had to use a fan at the end of the hose ( its a hose that came off the back of a cloths dryer for blowing the heat to an outside vent..(no I didnt swipe it from the one in the house). Anyway I had to use a fan at the end of the hose to collect the air a push it into the hose so that the fan thats at the other end of the hose, which is mounted to the back outside of the case, and pull it into the case. Hmm...maybe i should throw my 1.2gig setup in this case. But its an old modded AT full tower case...modded to it ATX board...hmmm I got my next project!

I will post some pics.

Where its mounted, just below the power supply.
I used a regular wash rag cut in half,rolled up, and wraped around the fan, and then compressed with that bracket to make a good seal.

Ok I got a question, if you leave that hose outside the window long enough can't moister get up in it and damage your cpu?

No need worry because something has to be colder than the air around to it cause condensation, plus since the hose is angeled down ward I belive moisture will have a time getting up it...
