Its a bit cold outside tonight here in houston. Is there any long term proplems if i direct the cold air from outside into the side intake fan in the computer? The computer sits about 2.5 feet from the window and i have a window fan drawing in air.

The apartment has terrible air circulation problems and I keep the door closed since i have some roomates.

Ive been looking to setup a duct to expell hot air from the computer during the summer also.

Thanks fo your help
 
I think the only major issue you may run into is moisture. I thought about this a while back, i live in a place where it is below 0 Celsius 4 months out of the year. I have seen it done before, I honestly think its not worth the headache, however this is the [H] forum.
 
I'd go with a mod similar to this one:

There's also post/picture of someone using a drying machine's tubing from his window (stuffed with socks to prevent cold air from getting inside) to intake cold air into his front intake fan. Can't find it in the Ghetto Mods thread, though.
