Hey Polycounters Summer's heat has finally gotten to me. Today the high was 108 in portland, and I am sweating balls as I type this. Anyway, I wanted to ask, how you guys beat the heat in such climates. How the hell do you even work in this weather and how do you guys maintain your precious computers? All I got is a little…
Here in Southern Ontario, we are still waiting for summer. It is not here. It should have come a long while back. Sooo... I'm more jealous than sympathetic :p (Though that sounds a BIT too hot...) P.s. Isn't that what Air Conditioners are for? :D

Sometimes I have to wear a sweatshirt... so its a little too much at times. My place gets very little direct sunlight and stays pretty cool. Last night was the first night I…
Yup it's hot this year and unfortunately the sun shines directly into my apartment in the summer/fall. I've pretty much just decided to vampire it for now, sleep during the day and work at night. As for my PC keeping it cold and quiet were the two main concerns when I put it together. An aluminum case with 2 120 mm fans, a…
Err, I spent a summer in Hisperia CA, and grew up in the valley.. 108 meant it was a cool day. I saw on the news you Portland folks got a little warm the past week or so. You'll be fine. I just use fans and drink tons of water. I also sat in boxers while in the house. I also had a deep freezer, and I'd freeze blocks of ice…
