I said I'd do it once it's done...
Here's how I keep my mine cool:

Seriously, I should have done that last year but didn't have the money to play with.
This thing brings my S4 from 65 degrees down to 55 in about 3 minutes; still blows my mind... no pun intended.
The room is small but is able to get its cool intake air from another room.
Like I always say, get rid of the hot air first, then condition it.
This here thing will get rid of any hot air and does it in a hurry.
No need to run this all the time because it is very loud, much louder than an S4... also uses 450w of power.
It's also not explosion proof, so if you're in a toxic fume rich area, could be hazardous.
Then cooling it is a breeze... no pun intended, I'll be adding but an evaporative air cooler in a few months once it's scorching hot out.
From my perspective, a great investment.
Very nice setup. Thank you for sharing it. Very clean look to it.
I'm jealous of the evaporation cooling. The humidity in weather leaves me with regular AC.... so my miners will not be getting AC.
You're welcome m8, if it can save another miner a few more bucks in cooling costs then, I'm happy I can help.
The miners (except S1) are all in line with the window, that's why all the wood.
I figure that, once I run out of window room, I'll have been out of breakers to use.
That said, miners themselves remove a lot of humidity in a room, so an evaporative air cooler is like a humidifier too.
The humidity here is about 65% year round but it's about 30% in my mine's office.
Kill two stones with one bird so to say... I live beside Lake Superior, it's humid here too lol
Evaporative air coolers are cheap, some of them are around $100 or so.
That said, here's a link for miners interested in getting the same blower... it's on sale at Amazon right now too.
http://amzn.to/1ALxSGdPS: You're right, mining is addictive. My modem died last week and took a week to get a new one... for that week waiting, I felt like a part of me was missing, or had departed. Not as bad as nicotine withdrawals but maybe, just as sad.
but I wanted to test out for next summer or possibly turning off some other ones and using this. I can say 24 inch to 36 inch is a LOT bigger. Does not seem to big till you get it home.... and realize you have a beast.
