Cheap portable evaporative cooler.. (only works in low humidity areas).. it's up
against the only window, blowing out... doubles as an air filter and picks up a
LOT of dust..

Note: if it is blowing _out_, you're not getting *any* cooling advantage from
it. the 'coolth' is on the side that the air blows out of.

it draws some of the heat, especially with the window frame and screen getting
cold and acting as a heat sink... the window is a slider that's only about 1/3
as high as the cooler vents..
it's mostly used for dust in the air, though.. it's a portable one with a cloth
belt that wicks water up through the pan and blows air through it, so it does a
pretty good job on dust..
