My computer fills my room with alot of heat, enough to were i sweat. short of buying a water cooling system, is it crazy to customly mount a dryer exhaust vent to my computers exhaust fans to go a few feet to my windows to blow the heat out? maybe add a bilge blower to help pick up the pace if the fans cant do the job? also someone else suggested a marine bilge blower since it can run on a 12 v molex (if u do it right) and it can get wet?
my problem, computer producing alot of heat
any suggestions?
please and thank you.

Watercooling would actually dump MORE heat into your room, all it does it remove heat from your components in greater capacity and more efficiently than air cooling. Blowing the heat out a window would work if you have a powerful enough fan, I doubt a standard 120MM fan is going to cut it. Maybe some Delta or San Ace fans with 200CFM+ will handle it.
What're the temps outside near you?

I think you should first figure out why it's creating so much heat. A system with a Phenom II and a GTX 460 should be pretty cool running, unless you're running the hardware 100% with a folding application or something.

Its cool, even with prime 95 and seti running it does not pass 48C but even with most system it will produce heat, I dont have central air and my room is always closed off.

If you start mashing shit together it will look terrible and you will no doubt lose airflow along the way, making the whole thing pointless.
I would possibly buy a portable AC unit and use it in the room when I'm on the PC. You can use the AC unit elsewhere for other times, it sounds like you could do with it, you can't live in California and not have AC, not unless your name's Hotnads McSweaterson.

small rooms = heat kept in due to less aircultion. Body heat = enough to keep any room hot if you don't have a constant inflow of hot air

Have you tried cleaning your computer? Those Phenom II heatsinks catch dust like crazy.
The road I cruise is a bitch now, baby.
