How about using some ducting and attaching it to the vent of your air conditioner and making an intake hole in your comp and set the ac to about 72.

Ducting only a portion of the air from your A/C won't do - as the air will find it's too high resistance to go thru the duct and will instead just flow out the non-ducted part, into your room. If you channel ALL the air out of the A/C into your case, that might work. However depending on which model A/C you have, that's one MIGHTY HUGE duct! ;)

I'd be worried about moisture in the case with this idea. When air flows through the evaporator to cool off, it picks up a little moisture, because the evaporator coils are below the dew point and get a little condensation on them. Just a thought...
