ok, im planning on making a duct from the a/c blower to the side of my case (yeah i know :) ), i was just wondering if the air coming out of the a/c would damage my mobo and stuff since its not natural cooled air
 
The air itself won't damage anything, but you're going to want to watch out for condensation in there
 
there was a thread like last night with pics of a guy doing it.. they talk about the risks of doing that there.. you should search for that thread
 
Real A/C air is very dry, and will not cause condensation during operation. The only time you'd have to be carefull is if you live in a very moist climate, and run all A/C air into your computer. In that case you could have high humidity inside your room, and a cold computer. Then, when you turn off the A/C, you will get condensation. But that's an unlikely configuration.
Swamp cooler air is not suitable due to it's high moisture content.
