Are we talking symbiosis as in tiny-bird-cleaning-reptilian-maw, or "symbiosis" as in "hey, you've got blood to spare, just gonna park my ass here and try not to tickle TOO much?"

How light a sleeper are you, and how well can you tune out noise? My friend had a modest, name-brand portable air conditioner and it was like a goddamned leafblower. You might be better off a window cracked open about a quarter of the way, a small tower fan oscillating in your general direction, and a cheap box fan doing its business from a good distance away. Far cheaper in both initial cost and lifetime cost, and quieter unless you're sensitive to the drone of a fan.

I grew up on having a fan next to me going to sleep. So white noise won't be a problem.

But I pay a couple bills and drive people occasionally in exchange for staying and not paying actual rent and going to college.

So what's the issue with fans? Or is it less about personal comfort and more about not frying your electronics?

Google "BTU calculator" it will ask you for dimensions of the space you want to cool and how many degrees you want to cool and sometimes how well insulated the space is. The calc will spit out a number in BTUs which most Portable and Window ACs use as a rating. I usually add 1k-2k BTU to this number for freak heat waves or for an extra punch to get things colder at night to sleep better.

open a window?

Go through the main house and half close the vents. Take the vent cover off your vent. Place a fan to suck air out of the vent hole.

These steps will help slightly. Remember to point the vented air at you. Your computers won't mind second hand ac.

If there's a window I recommend a cheap small window unit and a box fan. Install the AC unit in the window and put the box fan in the cold air stream and aim it where you want it. This spot cooling method can keep you cool where ever you are in the room without needing a massive AC unit to cool the entire room.

So, something like this:

and

Will work perfectly. This is what I use when it is 110F outside and getting upwards of 95F inside without AC in 80% humidity that simply kills you without AC. The Electric bill for this stuff is really cheap too.

>leaves consoles and computers on
You are a shitty comp sci major.

>>992724
Turn your computers and consoles off? Get better cooling for the computers?

Make a freon cooling system then you got cold air blowing :^)

It should cost you less than your GTX 980.
