Super clever! Im about to do something similiar, but perferably without cardboard. Some plumbing style stuff from a hardware store might stick better.

+1 I may be looking towards dryer tubing, the stuff from the clothes dryer to the wall is the same size as the intake fan. So it might work. Who knows, but either way, the point is to get the cold air to the intake fan, cardboard, duct tape or however you want!
