Computer as a fridge?

Looking at my screen today, I noticed that the average temperatures inside of my computer were lower than the ones outside:

37°C outside, 34°C in the machine…

So is your computer actually a fridge? No, of course not – our room temps at the moment are under 26°C, and of course the computer, like any electrical device, adds to the heat, even an older and slower one like mine (without a graphics card or a 200+W CPU monster from Intel). Which means that the best thing you can do is to actually power everything off which isn’t needed, oh and “surfing” with a mobile phone also takes lots less power than running your typical PC. Just saying…

As always, thanks for reading.
