Back in the Amiga era, I inverted the PSU fan of a very loaded 2000 (lots of memory, SCSI, Video Toaster, etc) and piped in the output of an air-conditioner directly to it (with a little bit of epoxy sculpting). It stopped crashing and worked happy for a long time until being replaced by a boring Windows box running NT.
I had, but only in front of the computer, where the cold air hit the room air. The air from that AC unit was very dry - to the point of similar ones being replaced due to complains.
