If you've not heard of them XtremeSystems is the type of forum that specializes in exotic cooling for all parts of a PC. The stuff they run over there makes DIY watercooling look as standard as stock Intel cooling.

Must be nice to live in such a place. In Texas, we get all four seasons, on Thursday.

The air is already dehumidified and clean and gives the user the opportunity to OC their rig with every part in it. A decent Window unit is about 200 bux that will work fine. But as usual, bigger is always BETTER!!!
