My father said that he is up for me figuring out some way to cool my room. Without buying an external AC unit [that hangs out of my window] I was wondering if anybody has any ideas or knows anything about this type of stuff so that I can mod my room? Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated because I have no idea where to start for my research except off of others' (who have some knowledge possibly about this field) knowledge.

Thanks for your help,

(PS. If you think it gets hot where you're from, please visit Houston in the summer and I don't think I'll have to say a word, )
I have the same problem, except I'm the first in line for the air conditioner, but I run a server 24/7 that has a warm exhaust and the house is pretty well insulated, so my room keeps in the heat, and the rest of the house keeps the cold air, which means that our A/C doesn't run very much, making my problem much worse. At times, my room gets up to 87 degrees, which really sucks. I usually take my laptop and go into the living room. I guess the easiest solution I could think of is getting a fan that blows air out of your room through a window, that way more cool air enters your room. Another idea is to partially close other vents in the house to give you more air flow. I've been thinking of getting our small windows A/C that is in my workshop not being used and putting it in my room's window and leave it on low. My room is the hottest in the morning (since the A/C usually doesn't run much at night and my server is still running). When I get it, it is usually 82 in my room. If I'm playing games on my server my room gets very warm, and my laptop also heats up my room after a long day of playing games or something.
