I wasn't sure if this would be related to cooling or not, but for lack of a better section i'll post here.
I have 4 computers running in my office (1 24/7, the others while i'm in here) and the office faces the sun in the afternoon. It gets about 82-88F here by mid-afternoon and is almost unbarable. I have central air for the house, and keep it at 76F throughout the day, but even closing ALL the vents doesn't help keep this room cool. I really can't put an a/c unit into the wall/window b/c i don't know how, and don't want to pay someone a lot of money to put a hole in my wall. I live in San Diego, so as you can imagine it stays pretty warm year round so a perminant thing would work. What suggestions do you have for cooling a room down besides just a lot of fans? The 2 fans i've got in here are rather worthless atm. Having one blowing directly in my face is about the only way i can keep somewhat cool. Are there any good (meaning cheap) a/c units that do not need mounting? And fans that are better than others? Just looking for a way to bring temps down a bit mainly for comfort, not to mention my CPU temps are significantly higher as well...Thanks.
