what would you put in a hot room...

[chrisgregory]

for a PC? i need a computer to exist in a boiler room during the summer in new england. what would YOU come up with. i cant seem to come to a final conclusion on what to do about this. i know NOTHING about those industrial PCs or mini PCs. Those are the two recommendations ive been getting so far. Wouldnt an industrial PC be ideal (but a lot of money), however a mini PC may do the trick as well considering it's hardly generating any power throughout it? less energy = less heat?

As said elsewhere, I'd look for a different room or solution.

Get a huge ATX case, install a hydro CPU cooler, and get as many fans as the case will support.

Depending on the summertime temp in the boiler room, this doesn't really help.
If it is starting at 140F(60C)(not unusual for that type of room)...that is the absolute lowest it can get.

Plus, boiler room fumes.

fit an air conditioning unit. build an insulated double walled cupboard around the unit, leaving enough space inside for a PC, with the monitor fixed to the outside and a plate with USB sockets and a shelf for k/b and mouse.

yes, basically less power consumption normally is equal to less heat

why do you need that computer?

You can go with Joseph DeGarmo's suggestion and add a couple of this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16896629089
