How do YOU keep your room cool?

[zackw419]

So my herp room faces the sun most of the day, and is easily approaching the 90 degree mark after some of these hotter days. This is my first summer in our new place, so this is a new problem.

I was thinking of buying a window a/c unit and hooking it up to my spare double Ranco thermostats.

Set it a couple degrees above my oil filled heater set temp, should work like a dream.

What do you guys think?

What do YOU do to keep your room cool on these approaching hot days?

Sounds like the only way to solve the problem. That and some heavy blinds (If the sun is shining through)
