During this Summer Heatwave, what do you do, to keep it cool?

I use an AEG Windmachine. Very old design, still one of the best to move some air. Sounds like a small airplane at full speed. :D

Not really a fan of airco's. But with these temps it is tempting :occasion-snowman:

I have plans to upgrade the 120 to a 140 or greater fan at some point, but this works well enough for those hot days :D

Here is my upgraded LEGO fan mount, i have rebuild it to fit a massive 180mm Silverstone Air Penetrator fan, and this is the finished product, it moves about 2-3 times the air the older Antec TriCool fan did, so it delivers more than enough airflow now so now i can keep myself/my whool room cool while i'm gaming or in the hot summer months :D

It even has a build in 3-speed fan controller as you see in the top of picture 1

I know it looks small in those picture, but it is huge, it is 22 cm tall and 21 cm wide :P

Thanks, you really can make anything out of LEGO's, but i may be as pretty as the metal or wood constructions but it gets the job done, plus i have a ton of LEGO from my childhood stored away under the bed :lol:

And yes it cools very well, nearly to much now, as it gives me goosebumps :mrgreen:
