Liquid cooling can be a real savior in a HOT area. (Desert type)

If the temps in the room you have your system exceed 90 degrees.

The you gotta choose a cooler room or get some extreme cooling.

If the ambient room temp is 90 an H20 system will not help

Sounds like a place where one of those new TEC coolers are needed, no experience with them but they seem to defy the laws of thermodynamics lol.

No the tec coolers produce a LOT of heat but pull some heat away from the other side in the process. The cold side cools down, hot side is very hot and needs to be cooled.

They also draw a lot of electricity in the process - you'll need a separate power supply for a decent tec.
