in an effort to keep utility bills down, I've become accustomed to letting my room get warm during the summer. I don't really need a/c until it gets well above 80. lately, my laptop and external hard drive do not seem to weather temps above 75 with any panache at all.
thing is, even if I buy a new computer, it will be another mac (almost certainly the mini). will this also have issues with my attempt at being green and letting the heat build up? I know both machines are getting old, and I can all but guarantee you the powerbook could use a good cleaning. I'm not about to take eleventy billion miniscule screws out and risk making things worse than they are.
are there any devices for cooling computers that don't require cooling the entire room? besides a fan blowing my pictures off the bulletin board on the wall behind the computer.
