Actually, yeah it is(we are talking still 50-60f or so in the room due to all the heat producing stuff i have, and thats with hvac vents shut off to my room).(Well, its a modded fan, has a furnace filter in front of it custom mounted(eg- taped) to keep particulate to a minimum). When i really want low ambients i shut everything down except my computer, then pull out my over 1000cfm electric blower motor hehehe(used to be used for one of those inflatable waterslide sorta things).

Pics?!?
You asked for them... (56K warning):
Dark view:
Plastic bag is taped to a 10" or so box fan on high--then a vent is on the side to the San Ace on high.
Shot of the Rad setup.
Random readout that I had lying around--it sets an alarm off if the fan (ie, pump) stops. Also has a temp readout which I have set as reading the exhaust out of the rad setup.
Another thermometer/humidity meter. The air outside is right around 40F currently.
I didn't have shrouds to keep the fans off of the radiator so I just used packing tape. Pretty ghetto, but it works!

Networking stuff(makes alot of heat), 2 computers folding, two laptops folding, PS3 folding, refrigerator, plus whatever other random electronic goods are scattered throughout(lcd's, crt's, etc). Oh yeah, and forgot to mention this is a ~10x10 room.

Yup, the exact reason why i can have a window fan in and still be like 60f inside hehe. Network routers produce way to much heat

Id take pics but my room is a total mess right now, didnt get time to clean last week because of exams for school and such.Pics?
To be on topic;
Walking into a pole and saying 'damn lag'.
Its like an apartment style fridge, like 4ft high and 2.5ft wide or so, can hold just over 80 cans of pepsi at its max
Network stuff i have is mainly for just to mess with(eg- ccna studying), although i have a couple to connect the rest of my computers and media extenders and such throughout the house.aviation_man

That's pretty sweet!
I applaud your creativity. Seems like a good Christmas break project!
