well it is suppose to be -6 next monday. so i was thinking of doing the same thing i did a few years back and put my tower right beside the window, insulate it and then open it as nessisary. the window is just the right and im in the basement,theres a mesh screen for protection. now before i do this i have a few questions, well more like one. will my pc explode(any hardware failure due to cold temp)

moisture is your only real concern since the screen will block debris.

I was thinking, submerge this system in mineral oil and keep doing what he's doing, $100 vs. $400

ya getting waterblocks for my system would cost to much, and the mineral oil thing will be annoying/messy and no room to put it.
