I'm sorry to hear that Buff. That's ridiculous that no one can be there til Friday.

Having no A/C for 2 days in South Florida is pretty much a death sentence.

Move the fridge beside the PC and keep the door open, problem solved. PDT_Armataz_01_12

That Tornado warning sounds really serious hope all you Tornado alley type don't get hit.

But on a serious note about the A/C i come from Scotland where the thought of actually wanting to make it any colder is enough to get you commited.

But i guess it is a real necessity where you are Buff, cant believe it would take that long to get someone out to fix it.

Wait for a tornado to blow in, that’ll cool things down a bit.

I bought a portable A/C from Home Depot for $200, best $200 I ever spent. No more hot Summers while gaming on the PC. :D

Sorry to hear about your A/C Buff. The good news (if there is any) is that Friday is only 1 more day to wait.

And up we JUST turned the AC on in my parents place yesterday. Sopose to get up to 80 tomorrow here. And I can hear Buff mumbling under his breath something about hating me right now wishing he had 80 degrees there.

Man Buff, I feel for ya, I remember being in Oklahoma and having my AC go out. It's no fun. However, had frost in my yard this morning and expecting a high of 60 today. Think low was like 31 or so.

Hope you get your AC going soon.

Panzer, pushing around hot air really fast gives you a hot breeze. A/C is the only way to go, I think. LOL.

Heh, so yea, we have been doing the "lots of fans" method for the last 8 years. We finally found a good deal on a portable A/C so we took the leap. We usually only run the A/C for about 15 minutes, that's usually enough time to cool the room for a good hour or so. We use a shop fan (heavy duty, high speed) to circulate the cool air faster around the room. Hopefully our electric bill won't get too outrageous with the A/C, it's only pulling 6 - 7 AMPS which is about 1/2 the wattage of our dryer. Even if the bill is higher, having cold air while gaming is worth it.
