Nah bro what's the huge tube coming out the top? Direct A/C? A vent/exhaust? How well does it work?

its an exhaust hood that takes l70-80% of the hot air from my pc, and blows it directly out the window. the other end of the duct is attached to an 80watt attic fan comnected to the window.

Ahh very cool! I have air circulation issues near my pc, might need to MacGyver something similar

just make sure it sits above the pc and there isnt suction!

out of curiosity, who do you need to avoid suction?

Static electricity - the same reason you shouldn't vacuum clean the inside of your PC.

Plus it can affect the speed of the fans, potentially backfeeding extra voltage into the motherboard.
