hah. no need for that "low-tech stuff".. its all about xray vision
Being in the north east does not make you necessarily cooler. Granted, yes, today I am only 79º F. Yesterday, we were 93º F, and tomorrow is supposed to be the high 80s.

The advantage may lie in who has control over their ambients (read: air conditioning) and those who have the stones to push the processor past its stops (read: nutjobs).

We will see what happens come dead of winter.

I wonder how well the PC would run when it is -15º C outside? I know I wont want to stand out there with it (-40º C wind chills) but imagine the load temps! As long as it doesn't snow on it; I love snow, I am sure the PC will not.
