lol, I have been tempted to do that. My temps are actually higher in the winter since we are usually running the furnace more often.

Oh god your room must be so cold. I'm in Newfoundland in a basement where it's only like -7 outside and I'm already frozen with a HAF932 by my feet. Where are you? I imagine if you're somewhere on the plains you would get horrifying performance.

LMAO! Nice. You must have a wicked high rpm/cfm fan pulling that air in. It's a good idea though. I might have to try it..

I live in Toronto so its only -5 max right now so its pretty chilly.

Make sure you watch your components for condensation. You want to be careful about mixing cold outside air with warm air from your room.

lmao

but I use 7 deltas fans in my system
if I did this....

^ damn that must get pretty loud eh?

Also the only downside I see with this is the increase in heating bills, I have seen more permanent solutions where the duct is fully sealed off so need for a window. Similar to what is seen with dryers.

^ damn that must get pretty loud eh?

it can
but thats what a fan controller is for

 

[pwnmachine]

^ Indeed, I think I would go crazy if my fans were running full speed 24/7.

Jack Frost was biting last night, 25 F 12 hours ago, but that didn't last long.

Not like that for a while in Toronto. It's like Springfield, with 33 F for night or higher! lol! At least for about 2 days.

It's too wet right now! O_O
