A PC is pretty much a space heater these days. Which is not great when it gets all hot and humid outside.

Many suggest just getting a small AC but why not remove the heat from it’s source and put it outside?

I imagine the vent being much smaller than the big AC tube pictured.

    Warning about this is airflow, condensation, I would be afraid the moisture outside would destroy my oc or the fans wouldn’t work well enough and would overheat anyways

      Humidity really isn’t a huge issue for modern electronics. Actually, dry air is more dangerous. And that could be solved with a computer fan at the window.

      I whouln’t replace the existing PC cooling or connect the air pump directly to it. Just something to suck out the hot air behind it. Even just a vent on the desk above the area might work.

            You can get inline duct fans for not too much, but they do make duct adapters for the fan holes in the case.

            I’d recommend running some stress tests with just the tubing to see if it’s sufficient to cool your system. You don’t want so much airflow that you’re causing your AC to run more often.
