HOT PC Room - Essential Hardware

Hot PC room ??? - solution is right here ---

box in your PC, make a removable window interface board connect the two and buy a PAC (Portable Air Con) unit connect it also and you have a lovely cool room all summer. have a look at the pic and say what u think. - in the PC box a 7" 180mm Silverstone AP181 (5.4Watt -12v x 0.45A) fan directly sealed to the input end of the 125mm Flexi hose.... does a good job of pumping that hot air out...

This has just been first run yesterday and there is no additional fed air into the PC box as yet... I intend to monitor and if required will add an input fan. The air is drawn in through an 8" square hole cut in the front door of the box and fitted with a Louvred, dust meshed vent.... the fan seems to be doing ok at the moment. The beauty also is that if I leave the door open then only very little hot air comes out because of the inbound airflow...

Now that the UK gets serious heatwaves and the average temps are taking a jump, I say bring it on - I'm ready... lol

 

PS - For the Techno Geeks...  I have read a few comments about the thermal laws and flow dynamics and about negative room pressure etc etc etc that suggest this idea is not very good... that's all Hokum...    - for me this works and the hot, sweaty, dripping, fidgety uncomfortable flights have evaporated and been replaced by cool, calm comfort.. ...

Yes I had a friend that did this back in the 90's.  It wasn't pretty but man did it work well.
