It's a fairly simple idea. But I was wondering if anyone has ever tried it. Have those of you that use any kind of external WC system (Zalman Reserator, Koolance Exos, Custom, etc.) ever tried leaving the radiator outside on a cold winter night? I know it would take a decent amount of tubing, but I was just curious of the temperature improvement. I could see it having a very large amount of improvement.
 
The only problem with that is condensation. If you have your mobo properly "water proofed" it would work quite well. As long as we're not talking -20F winter nights :D

-20F works if you have anti-freeze in your lines. Hey how about an electric rad heater when you go beddy bye?
 
Speaking of it, I don't believe I ever received an answer to my question in the past when I saw some users having cardboard setups to take in winter air via a window. I assumed they just ignored the risk.
 
Sort of like up in Alaska when you have to plug in your engine block heater and battery blanket so it doesn't freeze over night.
