If it's really hot, just get a small USB powered fan, and sit it at your side. Get an old ice-cream tub or something, and fill it with ice-cubes and pour salt all over them. Blow the fan over the tub, you'll be chilly cool in no time at all 
General / Off-Topic want to play elite... but cant... its too blooming hot!

i would suggest putting a container under it to catch the water and use a better pump to recycle the water out of the caching container

Roll ya pants up and put yer hankies on (and then call in sick)anyone else here struggling with the heat?
here in blighty i am not used to 30 degrees at night. my oculus rift face sponge feels like a racing drivers underpants.... it probably does not smell much better either.
what do you guys do to keep your gaming space cool?
on that note... does anyone want to demo my rift
Cant you just install a couple of heat sink launchers on your house?
Awesome! This englishman accidentally picked up a suntan and has lost three kilos already this week, I hope you are not so adversely affected.

By Aeolus! This is the prettiest thing.
Look at that antarctic cyclone above the Weddel Sea! Man, that thing is huge.
And i guess Guam has a hard time, too.

I really can't handle temperatures over 24 c or so. I therefore bought a portable aircon (not a useless "air cooler") unit from Argos a few years ago, Ok it only gets used a couple of weeks a year but it makes an incredible difference and makes life bearable for me:

I see we are fitting in with the Brit mentality
Complain if it's too cold
Complain if it's too hot
take holiday in Med. and then complain about the heat there.
and ...
to add to it we're all trying to play computer games on a nice sunny day.
so from a comparatively cool Cyprus .. I'm missing Elite while on hols, but at least have air-con.
fly safe commanders

A couple years ago me and a friend motored (from Stockholm) down to Marseilles and going through france it was so ridiculously hot we had to be fully dressed so as to absorb the sweat which would in that amount have destroyed the seat fabric (why he even cared in a car so old it didn't have AC I don't know), and road signs everywhere saying Hydratez Vous lol. I bet people were dropping like flies. But when we finally arrived, oh boy I loved that city - closest thing to Mos Eisley I ever saw (except for actual light sabers) and the sea food was just so damn good I completely forgot about my steak obsession. Made the mistake of visiting to an internet café, going from 40 celsius and wet as a squid into a room at 20 degrees and blasting freezing air isn't the relief you'd expect
