Winter Cooling?

I'm debating whether or not I should re-arrange my room and put my computer by the window. I have a 250mm side fan and I could easily use that to pull in cool air from outside (or just air that is close to the glass that gets cooled).

1.) How bad is the condensation effect of doing this? I like in nebraska (poor me...i know), which is humid, very cold and gets a decent amount of snow.

2.) I should be alright with just leaving the window closed (stupid apartment isn't sealed very well) but I'm just thinking that I might want to do an extreme OC sometime when it's like -10F this winter.
 
I wouldn't worry about condensation from moving cold air into your case. Cooling a hot surface doesn't produce condensation, but heating a cold surface does, so long as there's moisture in the air. Think "cold beer can / warm beer can".

I actually do the same, sort of, in the winter. A good time for OC'ing.

Do it.
 
Winter cooling is fun in the cooler parts of the world. I used to vent outside air directly into my watercooled rig. We'll see what I can do this year, with an actual fat paycheck :)
