Ok so my house doesn't have AC and I would like a way to cool it. (im the only one in my house who wants it so im the only one who's gonna get it).

So what do I need to build the ultimate budget evaporative cooler? (I would like 2 of them, one for where my computer is and one for where my room is). (Or one Mega Cooler)

I can order things from the internet and a very small Ace Hardware in my town

I live in the moutians where its pretty dry, so I don't see a hige issue. (It would also only be running from about 9:00 AM - 11:00 PM

imo, just because Linus does it, doesn't mean it's a good idea.

 

I see it so often, Linus does a video then every kid hops on the bandwagon asking questions about how they could do outdoors liquid cooling, use retired server processors for their computer or have a computer in a rack. Truth is that whilst inquisitiveness is fun when your 14, it gets tiresome when you have hundreds of 14 year-olds wanting to undertake ridiculous and unrealistic projects.
