I sorta have a problem with my computer, it just generates too much heat. Its a muggy 84F in my room, with the door open and 74F in the rest of the house. I stopped overclocking, and that helped a little, but i was wondering if theres anything else I can do.

Ive played around with the idea of putting an 80mm hole in the wall, with a fan in the hole, and running a duct from the back of my PC to hole. But were moving out of this house by next year so my parents dont like the Idea.
 
LCD monitor if not using one now. Cieling fan for circulation in the room. If necessary use some sort of stand fan to move out of the room. I am guessing you don't have an air return for the AC located in the room

My home office is located on the 2nd floor of my house. The ceiling fan, LCD, and a powered attic vent have all helped. Our attic had convection ventillation which did very little to get hot air out of the attick (ridgeline vent). The temps near the cieling in my office were 10-15 degrees more than near the floor due to heat radiating from the attic. The powered ventilator in the attic fixed the difference and made the office tolerable again.
