Is there any danger, such as condensation, in drawing outside/outdoor air into the case?

The room temp. is about 60-65 deg. F. The case temp. is about 90 deg. F. The outside/outdoor temp. is about 30-40 deg. F.

I'm thinking about cooling my comp. by bringing in cold outside temp. into the case. Anyone has any opinions or suggestions?

Definitely might be a problem with condensation with that kind of a temp difference..

I did this last year when I was living in the dorms. I got the system temps down to -10C and cpu to -8C. I didn't have any problems with condensation since the entire case was cold inside. But when I but my hand on the side of the case, I could see moisture forming on the case around my fingers.
