Hmm interesting. I'll try plants first, I like that idea because it's easy maintenance plus it looks nice, also minimal setting up. If that doesn't help matters, I'll look at this little setup. Sounds like it could be fun. Cheers.

Why don't you just buy a bag of ice (or make some in the freezer), put it between you and a fan, and blow the fan over the ice?

Problem is that I'd need to keep doing it. How long does a bag of ice last in a room that's 35 degrees?

Ong are you mad, just buy a water cooling system for your pc, they aren't exactly expensive and they'll actually work as opposed to a plant.

My PC is probably worth a fiver, so not sure if worth it. Still, I'll look into this, certainly when I replace this heap of shit.

Plants should work. Evapotranspiration is a thing that plants do, and it cools air around the plant.

Do they not have air conditioners in the UK?

They're not cheap, and for the most part, we don't need them. We probably have a max of 5 days a year where it's +30 degrees outside.
