Free and open source ideas (#FOSI)

It happens to us all to have good ideas but unfortunately we don't always have the time or the ability to realize them...
Instead of these ideas getting lost or dying we can share them and maybe they will be heard by someone in the free software community who is in need of inspiration but has the time and ability to realize them. ๐ค
You can also share your idea and ask if people in the community are interested in helping you make it happen.

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
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.
Like a box fan above the computer connected to the tube that goes outside... Wait that actually sounds really easy and cheap.

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.
