I dont know the thermal characteristics of your wooden case but I've never seen the need for sucha complex cooling system for your average CPU OC.
As I said before, It's not an issue about keeping the computer cool, it's an issue of keeping both the computer and the room it's in cool.
Every single traditional form of PC cooling uses a heatsync/tower cooler or radiator to keep it cool, and those are always left inside or right beside the computer case, which then vents into the rest of the room. My goal is to cool the computer with out venting the heat given off by the computer back into the room it is sitting it. To do that we have to move the heat away from the computer, ether by venting out of the room or use a difernt kind of cooling that doesn't involve ambient temperature. The latter seemed like a good idea but now I'm giving up on it. Venting the heat out of the room however does seem like the best solution for what I want to do, and the only way I know of doing that so far, is to use some form of external cooling unit which can be put in or directed into an other room.
