I had a very similar idea that I wanted to try myself.
Take one of those externally mounted AC units and remove all the refigeration equipement but leave the radiator and the fan. Plumb the radiator to the computer. Setup a small misting system just inside the unit where the fan forces air over the radiator so that the mist is forced throught the radiator. Mount the whole thing outside. It would be a swamp cooler that should do reatively well at cooling a computer and use very little water at the same time.
Why wouldnt it work? (Possibility: high humity area......)
