What would be the easiest way to exhaust 2000w of computer heat out the Window?
My ideas so far:
-Buy a modular storage shelf and create an outer shell out of cardboard. Fit cardboard with exhaust tube. Cardboard is super easy to work with.
-Chop up a plastic bin like pic related
-build a wooden enclosure using bookshelf parts. Need to find wood that's easy to work with because I only have a hand saw and a dremel.

This is the shelf. I already own one and it's stackable.

do you care about your homes AC efficiency? if not, fans suck inside air in, cool, blow air out vent in wall. like a dryer does.
if you care about efficiency, pump liquid over components, transfer tubes to radiator outside. you could take it as far as needed, and cool to whatever temp you want with some ingenuity.

replace a window with clear plastic and cut a hole for a grommet to hold your tubing.
put some kind of insulation over the plastic if you are worried about thermal transfer.

Are you running that off two circuits? Is it a 2000 watt "peak" supply actually using much less than that most of the time? A standard U.S. outlet is limited to about 1800 watts.

crack the window open
keep the computer outside
run cables through the window
Passive Geothermal heatsink water cooling loop

Correct answer is air to air heat exchanger.
That way you get fresh hot air back in your house :P

that's silly, the guy wants to get rid of heat, not re-use it.

Build a simple shed and put the computer outside

You're putting out around 6,500btu/hr with that, just get a window ac unit.
Protip: those cards are likely rated for 150w tdp, you can find btu/hr using intel's calculation.

Copper water cooling loop in computer
Feed from cold water service
Drain into sewer via hose through window
Not the cheapest if your water is metered

>2000W of computer heat
first of all you're not generating 2000W of heat
second of all, I'm pretty sure you've never turned this thing on, because you would immediately trip the breaker on any normal home in the US.

>just wasting water instead of using a radiator
Really, nigger?

Also, plastic tub design is total shit.
You know they make GPUs that are specifically designed to exhaust out the back? They're called blower fans and all reference GPUs have them.
Just use reference GPUs and don't bother with any fans. The only reason you should need additional fans is if the air from the box isn't reaching the outside.

He's obviously got a 10,000W power supply that replaced his electric range.
is that a bitcoin miner?
you do know that its nearly impossible to mine a bitcoin anymore, don't you?

Jam it into a mini fridge

Nah, more like the compressor in the mini fridge dies because it wasn't made to run at 100% duty cycle forever.

mineral oil bath, with circulator pump, then jamb it into a deep freezer.
