Depends on your tax system. I can't imagine it is possible here in UK.

So here is what I've achieved and it seems to like it so far....

It's because I forgot to leave the window open. Got too hot in here and it locked up.
What I learnt is: have the PC's near an open window, open air instead of case, invest on the best cooling you can.. and if necessary in summer just clock down a little. And perhaps a small metal fan to move air round room if you don't have natural airflow in the room.

I went one further and covered up the windows with cardboard to block out sunlight. But I can't promote vampirism anymore since Twilight ruined the cool image it once had. Thick curtain drawn during day would also work.
