Heya,
I don't know how you have your room set up, but would there be any way to run your radiator outside?? I know it might not do much now, but when winter hits....HOOOOBOY.
It doesn't get quite as cold in Kodiak, but last winter I poked a couple of holes (just big enough for the 1/2" pipe) through to my garage and the garage pretty much stayed around 6-10* most of the winter (sometimes colder). It wasn't enough to get any condensation, but damn did it cool good.
Two winters ago, I stuck the whole puter out the window when it was down around -15c*. It'd post like a mofo, but my damn harddrive would freeze up. Oh well, just had to try.

sounds like a great idea.

someone in the UK (i belive) did something like that with a gas cylinder.

he had warercooling on his pc, ran the pipes outside and buried the gas cylinder about 8 foot in the ground where its nice and cool. water went into the cylinder and came out nice and cool. he mounted the pump outside as well so it was quiet.

it seemed to do pretty well. if you could work it, it would be great, just a couple of slow spinning fans to move air around the case and you would be laughing :)
