Econmics, size and noise more than likely - an ac unit requires a compresser which uses a lot of juice and also could add a K note to the cost of the computer. Also there might be a problem with humidity near the ac unit part.

That reminds me - I gotta do a dust check on Hal pretty quick. He's still in pretty good shape for a computer his age but it probably couldn't hurt to get them dust bunnys out of him.
So far I haven't had to remove the cover, but I do point a fan at Hal and me as I only have one - If I overheat my hard drives will fail too!!
