Water cooling, with the radiator sitting outside?

Heat's a real problem in my industry (video production), too.  By the
time you've plugged in audio and video mixers, audio amplifier, several
video monitors, and other equipment in, you're using 700 watts.  Which
isn't far off plugging in a 500 watt bar radiator, as far as warming up
the room, goes.

For my computers, I've stuck with old, low power, ~500 MHz Celerons to
work my file and mail server.  It's more than fast enough for that task,
and doesn't use much power.  I've one moderately powerful desktop and
laptop computer.
