...make a cooler that cooled the entire inside of the case? I've got a server in a room during the winter says about 70 degrees F. during the summer that room gets around 120 degrees F.

I'm looking for an entire case cooler. I'm looking for something that is very reliable with minimal up keep and maintenance.

Thoughts and suggestions?
 
There are some cases that have a self-contained air conditioning unit like this, but I have a hard time believing they'll be able to work effectively in that kind of heat. Does this room have no climate control?

No it really has none. But this was our only option in terms of a location for this server. It's not in your traditional rack mount case, the case is a tower. So I've got some room for cooling options.

Hmm... MIght be a viable option though. I'll have to see the reviews and what kind of temps it maintains.
 
You might call around to a few HVAC companies and find out how much it would cost to run an AC duct into that room. Or rig up a fan in a ceiling panel to vent that hot air into the area above the ceiling (if there is one).

Bottom line: You have to get some cold air into that room or give the hot air a way to get out.
 
yea its 60 in my room now, its hard to imagine double that. it gets to about 120 in august in the afternoon sun...on my asphalt driveway. i would not put my computer out there for more then a few minuits let alone set it up out there. even get one of those portable a/c units for a couple hundred bucks and duct the hot air out a window/hole in the wall.
