The screen enclosed patio is ~14 long x 8 wide and 8 tall. It houses a pair of versa rack 11unit tall cb 70 with bps and bloods in Homestead florida.

    Ice packs, misters? any experience, suggestions appreciated.
    Well, I live no where near Florida, I live in New Jersey. However, I used to keep my monitors it my screen porch in the summer, which had windows over the screen. But were not your typical windows, they are cheap thin things, almost like putting a piece of glass over the screen. Any how, I had only had one week of really hot weather, which I had to cool them down. I didn't want to move them just for one week. But, what I did was put an ice pack in a ziploc bag that was full of sand, just so if they were to lay on it, it would not be like them laying on a block of ice. It may take some toying around with to get it right so it is not too cold, but it worked for me during that week. Hope this helps you, I no longer put them on my porch just because I had to toy with my temperatures a lot, but if moving them is not an option for you, maybe that will be worth a try.
