I use a simple evaporative cooler I bought from the hardware store. I think it was $65 or so. I do have to fill it with water each day. It drops the temp in the room about 10 degrees. On really really hot days, I also use pop bottles filled with water and frozen. Cheers! Matthew and Paula in CO with P.B., Sherlock, and Gryphon (the ferts) Quinn and Seneca (the dogs).
