~ I've read about using "terra-cooling", and would like to try it.

~ During the summer, the earth below your house is relatively cool.
~ With a water pump and lots of copper or copper and plastic piping,
~ you can plumb a system that exchanges heat from your computer
~ room down to the earth, maybe 6 feet below the surface.

These are pretty common off-the-shelf systems now. Its called geothermal.

~ Or if you have a cool basement or crawlspace, just run a duct
~ with a fan in it up to your computer room.

You'll have a huge problem as moist warm air enters the basement and the
moisture condenses on the colder surfaces. In the dark moist basement you'll
quickly have big mold/fungus problems.
