Cool and heat

I work in Networking with computers and I found this post really interesting since I working on my own carputer (04 TL). Unless you wan't to control the AC temperature that goes in the PC, you can just be sure to have a AIR FLOW in the PC's case.

What I mean by "AIR FLOW" is, even if it's WARM or COLD air it as to move in the case. The easy way to do so, is to install atleast 2 computer fans in your carputer case.

The first FAN as to push some air inside the case....
The second FAN as to pull out the air outside the case....

This will create an AIR FLOW in the computer's case and keep the hardware at a respectable temperature.

I live in Montreal, Québec. The temperature here is never the same, in winter it can get as low as -30C and during summer we usualy have some +30 really often. SO that's why temperature is a major problem for me. I'll let you guys know when I will run all my carputer tests.
