ok, heres what i did.

i installed my old geforce 2 on my crappier computer(800 Duron, 320 ram,40 gig hd) and i was gonna use it. then i realized, to my suprise, that my pc didnt even have an exhaust fan!!!!!!!!! What am i gonna do now, im stuck at the house all day cause parents at work. so i developed a plan. i moved my pc from my desk, which was next to my ac vent (hehe, luckily) and positioned it so that it was next to the vent. then, using some cardboard and some good old 15 yearold enginuity (i hope i spelled that right), i funneled all my ac from the vent, into the inside of my computer case!!!!!!! and it goes in there with such force that it goes out the exhaust vent, and still keeps my room cold!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i wish i had a camera to show you guys, gimme a week or two and then i will. hehe, this is awesome!!!!!!!!!!! i think i am gonna play some games now

WATCH OUT!!!!

cold air with moisture can condense and create water when in contact with warm air!!!

THIS IS A BIG NO NO UNLESS U SALT UR SYSTEM!

or grab 2 boxes of Arms and Hammer baking poweder and soak up the moisture

it shouldnt unless your room is very moist

just keep the air around dry and all should be fine

except u will have a high payment for the electric bill...

Well, the air coming through the vents will be very dry since AC's dry the air they cool, simply for that reason that you are worried bout so I wouldn't worry.

You keep your temperatures at 77* ?!? You must have super high Electric bills! We keep ours at 88*.

Just wondering, why would you slat your system if you are worrying bout condensation? Wouldn't it be adding the electrolytes that make the water able to hold a current!

no
im thinking about when cold air starts to dirty dance with the hot air, wont that create condensation?

or perhaps a tornado?
lol

My dads house is like, 1 bedroom, and its well insulated, and i keep my pc off a lot, so i dont have the air on, but anyway, i live in tennessee, and i couldnt stand stand living in a house thats 88 degrees. for it to get THAT hot, id have to turn on the heat lol, then i would be paying for heat bill, which reminds me, what am i gonna do during the winter, live with the heat off? hmmm have to think about that one. that or spend 20 bucks and get a decent fan.
