Hey guys here is question for some of the guys that have been around this hobby for a while. Has anyone ever seriously experimented with one of those internal room air conditioning units and perhaps taken duckting directly to the PC's intake air fans and seen what it does to an air cooled rig?

You're gonna need one HELL of a insulation rig, there, just to make sure nothing condenses and short circuits/fries everything.

loud, ineffective.
water cooling will cool any PC, if done right, and be quiet doing it.
for benching you can use a modded AC unit, or just get a two stage and run -100C under load.

I guess you can always buy a huge industrial freezers (like the ones you see at the back of your local mickey d's) and stick your pc in there.

thanks all. The idea just came to me and I was sure someone had tried this before and I wondered what the results would be. But yeah I thought of condensation as well.
@ sirsiddius I did read something somewhere , where a guy was runnin his liquid cooling unit through a freezer. I think he just had his rads in a freezer. Was it on the EVGA forums? I forget where it was I read it but it was interesting.

it would have to be a large freezer. small freezers only have about 200 watts of cooling power.

that is only for benching, can't run it 24/7 unless you hire a monkey to pour it into the pot all day.
