Alternative Cooling Methods
Ok I wanted to get some viewpoints from those with experience. First of all I have 2 things I have done or will do for my sys. As of now I got my case open w/ a box fan and a sorta air filter for dust.

As of now I got my case open w/ a box fan and a sorta air filter for dust. What I want to do is use the outdoor winter air to cool my comp. First off- has anyone tried either of these? Second of all, does anyone have any other weird ways they cool their systems?
Thx

The moisture problem can be taken care of I believe by using a catch and maybe a dehumidifier, besides it cant be that different from the humidity inside, unless ofcourse ins raining.
put it near a window ?? my computer is about 4 feet from my window, low window too, old house, windows about 3 feet off ground (comp is to the left or window) and after it being on all nigh t both my monitor and box are cold to the touch , no moisture probs i have yet noticed nor should there be any so if u can, sit it near an open window in a way that if it rains etc etc ti won't get wet thas what i did, and in the summer i move it about 2 feet furher to sit beside the a/c vent
