You're mad... you're all mad.
Damned hot weather :(

Thank God, I thought I was the only sane one left.

You've got to admire the creativity though
Personally I think I'd probably go the route of taking the air-con system outside of the car, rather than trying to put the car in the wall
That's just me though.

That however is more work and less fun than parking a car in the side of your house
Very true. Especially true when you're several floors up, the effort of carrying the air con up those stairs pretty much negates any disadvantage of putting the car in your wall.

You miss out on a cool car stunt though if you ripped the gubbins out of the car. Plus, it is a great talking point at parties...
"Why yes, I am the man with half a Golf GTI sticking out of the 4th floor flat..."
As an aside, I have made some structural modifications and added a fuel tank...

The balloons are an especially nice touch
I can't see downstairs approving of the pillar.

It's getting unbearable in PC corner in my room now so this afternoon will be spent moving stuff. It'll take me a while as there are delicate watercooled PCs to move, cables to reroute and furniture to shift. I'll have to move some of the furniture to another room temporarily since it's only a small room. All-in-all, I expect the process to take 2-3 hours but beer supplies are in place so all should be well
I've had building work outside my window this morning so had the window shut for ~45mins from 9am. Room temperature hit 27ºC within half an hour 
Window is back open now and my feet are enjoying the breeze!

I had one of those annoying fuel salesmen ring the doorbell last Autumn trying to tell me their gas price was cheap, they asked if I had gas central heating so I admitted I did but I heated the house with electricity. They didn't understand! The central heating hasn't been on for weeks now but as the PC is upstairs the downstairs can get a little chilly

I see the yearly hot weather excuse-a-thon has started early this year.

EUE's and BSOD's so i stopped for about half a day 
need to get me one of them car units

Pfft, remind me why I went custom watercooling? Was it for the good of my health, or so I could push higher overclocks in hotter weather?
Rearranged everything this afternoon. Took a bit longer than I expected (about 4 hours) and isn't entirely finished yet. The gaming rig is running at about the same temperature as before but with the fans running quieter. I have a few plans for tomorrow which will further reduce the heat in the new and improved PC corner and should also reduce the fan noise. Looking forward to a quieter and cooler room.
I also have a plan for the future to build a frame to fit the open window to hold radiators with waterproof fans drawing cold air from outside but that's some way in the future.
I'll have reduced output for a few days while I get everything right.

Sounds like you're making progress. But based on the heat output from my triple radiator, cooling just CPU/NB, I wouldn't want to replace my window air with air of that temperature

What a waste of perfectly good water.
Reckon a fire engine would be a bit big for a watercooling reservoir? Hope the rest of the room is waterproof too. Not to mention bug proof. The velocity applied to the shredded remains of an insect passing through said fans can have painful results. I know this to my cost (20in fan mounted in a window for cooling purposes).
I'm thinking about getting some ceiling fans fitted. Don't know why but they seem surprisingly effective.

I am dreading summer EUEs, I have added a couple of hi tec cooling solutions to the shed folder (circled), and computer simulations have shown the air-flow to be as indicated by the arrows.
