Our cold spell is January & February, and it is pretty much a daily occurance of -60 to -80 with windchill factored in, but I doubt I'll have the guts to go outside in that stuff with my computer. Even at -13, my LCD was starting to freeze up and glaze over haha.

I spy with my little eye...

A centurion 5. Great case, neh?

Spiffy temps. I used to leave my windows open in my dorm room to OC, 5C room temp = 30C CPU load on an opty 1216. Spiffy!

I live in New York, a bit north of the city, so it does get cold in the winter. As low as 0, lower occasionally.

I have my PC in front of a window. I open the window in the winter a crack.. air comes in.. gets sucked into PC.. 8800 Ultra heats up the air... and tosses it into my room. Nice warm room, nice cool PC. =D

cooling/heating system. I would have a outside "storm" window that had like no thermal properties but kept weather out so i would close my pc into the main window and get great temps.

erm. Your processors max recommended volts = 1.3625. Your at 1.45. Even at those temps, you can expect the life of that chip to degrade!

1.45 is nothing for a 65nm.

Can you post the deltas on the hard drive over the day? I'm working on a similur project right now, but I'm afraid of my disk warping.

Also, Show4Pro, with your duct rig, is there any condensation around the case? That thing looks sweet. And how is the ambient temp? Are you getting draft?

Put your computer... closer to your window.

That setup is crazy. It looks like your computer has emphysema!

HDD is either 29 or 30 indoors, outside it was between 7 and 9 depending on usage. HDD's are sealed and designed to work in a wide variety of temperature ranges, so you don't really have to worry much.
