Peet, that would be a good and fast idea. Box fan doesn't cost TOO much money to do, and if you mod it right...

I was even going for a temperary solution to the hotbox factor till he got a spare AC strapped in her.

I'm going to make a res that goes over the entire unit.

Also this machine is in the Garage! Which is HOT!

With something like this

5,200 BTU Haier Energy Star® Window Air Conditioner

I could wire the controls up front, and make two vents under the monitor! Then maybe have a switch like in cars with the rads for heat in the winter lol....

You have to remember"not in a hurry on this build just want it to be done by the end of the summer"

ATM there is a box fan in the back that blows a lot of air up front. It's nice and cold in the mornings, but summer is a coming!

Ok cool. Figured you would need some sort of a breeze going

Ahh, now I see where you are going. I thought that you would have to go and buy a window unit.

Also where the coin box was, I would like to install a mini refrgerator

So you could have fresh cold BEER/Soda on the spot!

Blah... I said I thought you had to buy one... lol... Didn't know you had one...

DaMulta · Apr 24, 2009

I do have one in my PC room where the central heating and air can't keep up lol

I am going to have to buy another one, but for 100 to 150 dollars to keep nice and cool in the cab would be worth it.

a slide out tray would be sweet...
