I say get some hollow copper, line your walls with it, then drill 2 holes in the copper and fill the space with water, and run a hose from one hole to the tap in the kitchen, and then run the other hose out the window. Done!

Maybe you should move your folding comps into another room?

You could just use some flexible ducting pipe like you get in tumble dryers to vent the hot air out of the window. That should help alot

Water cooling will help but only in a specific application. Since generally watercooling removes heat from the computer better than air cooling it also gets more of the heat into your room. If you switch to WC'ing now with your radiator in your room you will only heat your room up hotter and faster. The easiest thing to do is eliminate the heat source.

Would water cooling help?

Go out and buy a 400 watt ceramic space heater turn it on in the room and that gives you an idea of how much heat you are putting in the room. The only thing to do is get a window AC unit to assist or get a fan forcing unit that goes over the AC vent to pull more air into that room or block of part of the flow to the other room so that more air goes to that room.

This is the same problem with refrigerators. They are like having a 250 to 500 watt heater running all summer, not so bad in winter as they supplement heating.

But yes your monitor puts out alot of heat. Normal for LCD is 45 to 60 watts. The bigger one's put out a tad more heat. Keep the door open or cracked if you want to have it more like rest of the house or just declock devolt system in summer to make it slower but use less heat. You have to run heater in winter anyway so electricity usage doesn't really matter that much. But in summer you use triple because you have to cool the room.

Would be nice for someone to design a box mod for the back of a pc, where it would suck the heat out through a tube and you could run the vent put a window type deal. With maybe another fan at the end where it goes out the window to pull the hot air out faster.

If i was you i just get a ac window unit and run it on low and keep the door closed. As even a 6,000 btu on low with the door closed will be pretty dang cold in there.

Take your clothes off right now and tell me if you feel any hotter or colder.

How many windows do you have? If you have more than one then place a fan blowing out of one window. That would act as a duct sucking the hot air out of your room. Then cooler air would come in from the other window. Oh yeah it does help if you keep your doors closed. Does wonders for me here, my computer is like a heater man.
