My sun workstation really puts out the heat. I notice that the airflow
out is nicely directed through a circular fan port at the top back.
This port is just about exactly the right size and shape to put one of those
clothes dryer exhaust hoses on. Has anyone tried this, to get the heat of
this thing out of my office and into (say) the outdoors or the hallway?
My concern would be that the hose would present extra friction to the
airflow so the cooling would not work as well.
On the other hand, having a lower ambient temperature in the office might
offset any loss of cooling from the slightly reduced airflow. What think you?
