But trick is that she is in my window getting outside cold air now. :D Only reason I can do this is because my room is naturally warmer then all the other rooms in my house due to the PC running, 32'' LCD TV, and mainly my waterbed. Now its just as warm as the other rooms. I have the window down to the top of the pc case so it doesnt move much. Looks crazy from outside with the blue LED fans and sounds like a A/C unit lol since it has the loud thermaltake fans.

Pros: cooler temps, more leg room under desk, reduces noise from fans since they point outside.

Cons: have to take it down when I go to bed ad shut the window.

All I can think of for now. :D
 
Leaving it next to the window like that for the world to see is just asking for someone to steal it :rolleyes:

Just make sure you remember to close your window at night...

Happened to my friend, luckily his homeowners insurance covered his pc.

im on the 2nd floor in my house. i have the window down resting on the top keeping it from moving.
 
Get a dryer vent hose and reverse your rear intake to blow air into the case. Unplug the other fans except the rear fan so you dont have any intake\exhuast except the powersupply then hook the dryer hose upto the rear fan. Close window on the dryer hose then block the rest of the window with a blanket or something and walla quiet cold computer while your room stays decently warm.


Oh and filter the air because its gonna pull in alot of dust.

i wish i was on the first floor or had a ledge to put my pc on, maybe use a doghouse or something to keep it in incase of rain :( I wonder if I can think of something to patch the sides of the window that is open for cold air to come in. I rather not do the dryer hose since I have none anyways.

Just do what I did... Get a Lan backpack strap thingy (I used 2)... and put your PC in it... Then, using a big chain and some Karabiners, latch onto it (in a few different places) and hang it out your window! Just get a big metal ring, put 2 chains on it, and attach them to each "strap" of the lan backpack. Hang the ring on the INSIDE of your window, and close it. The ring stops the chains from falling out the window! Bring all the cords through and close your window down on them.

Seriously, I ran like this for most of last winter! -25'c outside gave me load temps of about 2'c. I was able to fold ALL winter on water with a 20/80 mix of Antifreeze. :D

Yeah, dont ever do the dryer hose thing at a college dorm, if you're on the first level... A guy I knew (I didn't associate with him, because he never came out of his room, liked to collect comic books, listened to Jpop, had loads of hentai merchendise in his room etc. etc.) used a dryer hose, and someone poured a beer in it :eek:

wow, thats alot of work. i dont think i have any of that
 
Haha, if you trust yourself you could make a little platform and hang it out the window :D.

It sucked bringing it in everytime there was a snow forecast... but it was so totally worth it.
 
Well thats gotta suck didn't he have a screen on the window?


Luckily for me I have bars around my window so I can set it up on them and nobody can steal it. But somebody walking by our house could pour beer into the blow hole. :p

Those temps are unreal. Never heard of any so low. Are you planning on keeping it in the window during the winter????

If I can find something to seal the sides up so no cold air gets inside sure, but I might get too cold with it wide open without insulation in the winter.
 
Here are 2 screenshots I took.

OC'd her to 3.6GHZ and look at the temps lol But she wasnt stable so it took her back down to 3.2.
