how big is your room? how much does the temp need to be lowered? are you sure you need AC?
how is your humidity?
i ask because i built a swamp fan for really cheap, with a cooler, fan, fountain pump, and a coil of copper tube. it's a pain in the ass to change the ice every day but it lowered my temp like 7f with far less energy use.

i looked every where for cheap very small AC units and didnt find much either.
just a thought.

Im also looking into getting a portable ac unit or something similar to cool down my closet, which gets up to around 90ish in the daytime.

I found several a/c unit type things (not exactly a/c units) for around $100

Basically you put water/ice in these machines and they can cool a room down by up to 12degrees or so, which is pretty good considering you want to be around 75ish when growing I guess.

I dont think a/c will get you down to freezing temp, the way I understand is they turn purple when they have been at or around freezing temps

Purple is just a color... I actually like the original lavender strain... that actually tastes like purple... "grapes" "lavender" "purple urkle" are some of my favorite strains... dont know the difference between pertaining to genetics but I cant get enough of em.....

Sorry no pics my dude, but I am using a portable a/c and I find that in conjunction with a fan or two it does fine.
