Well, winter is finally starting to go away. I've got enough electronics going in this room that the central air would freeze out the rest of the house to cool it comfortably, but I can't put in a window A/C unit so I'm looking for alternatives. I don't enjoy sweating my balls off while I'm gaming, etc. I run 3 LCDs, 3 Xboxes, PS3, Onkyo receiver, UPS, 2 Lian LI server towers, etc. I have plans of getting an Oppo BD player, PS4, and possibly XB1 at some point in the next year or so but I'm running low on sturdy space to setup more stuff. That's another issue I need to work on, but later. Anyway, all I have are BS crank open windows that open into another room of the house that was added on a few years after it was built. Stupid, but it is what it is. Ideas?
Cooling options for theater room with no windows?

A split system will do the job.

I have never seen a portable ac unit that does not have a vent or duct of some kind.
It has to to expel the hot air and humidity it extracts.
Too bad no one has come up with a large peltier a/c system

I assume you ate renting ( no mods) so Install a Ceiling fan. They are easy to install, less than $100 and easy to remove when you move. Then turn your furnace fan to "run" so that it is constantly changing out your rooms air with cooler air from the rest of the house.
Can't afford it, really. It doesn't feel worth it to move out and be constantly broke. I just need a way to tolerate summer. Then again, I had a couple 85 degree days this winter cause the old man left something open on the wood burner. lol

Considered moving out on your own?

How old are you? They're paying your bills, you're living in their house, I'd feel damn lucky you've got a space at all! I had a bedroom that was about 7" x 9" that I had to start renting the day after I turned 18. I moved out 3 weeks before my 18th birthday. Was I broke for a while? YES! Did I learn a lot? YES!
Be happy you've got a place to live and be respectful of your parents.

Pretty simple, really. I choose to live cheap and spend on fun ****.
I do keep my door open and run fans. It's worthless. I need some kind of AC unit to work in here. I just find it hard to believe somebody can't design a simple cooling unit like space heaters and such. I mean, my freezer makes air 10x as cold as an AC unit and I don't have to hang that out a ****in window. Maybe I'm thinking outside the box a little too far, but hey.

Sounds more like, "Failure To Launch" to me. Gee, girls must love it when you tell them you still live with your mom and dad. Would give them a real sense of security in you as a provider for them and/or a family. Out of curiosity, what is your education level?

I'm one of those people that was always too smart for my own good. I went to college for a couple years, and got fed up with not learning anything I felt was actually relevant to my major. Sorry, I'm not memorizing pros/cons of the AT&T monopoly for a damn Networking class. I already took History. I never had any luck with women when I was younger. Why bust my ass for my own place just to be alone when I'm older?
