All well and good if you're not working with 3 monitor screens and 2 computers in a room that's about 3 meters square... but that's the situation that myself and Jamie are both in...  The room temp hit around 40 degree's at the worst point and it's not a pleasant sort of heat either...  So this ain't OTT this is pure necessity...  Course the flip side is that come winter I don't need any heaters in the office.. but right now, it's a mite on the warm side Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Geoff   10 #14 Posted June 8, 2004 Jamie (or Martin) let us know what they're like. I would be interested in knowing whether a) they work any better than a big fan, b) how much noise they make and c) if they leave your eyes and/or throat dry and sore in the morning.  Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Jamie   10 #15 Posted June 8, 2004 Will keep you informed Geoff.  I can let you all know that the bowl of ice cubes wasn't such a hot idea after all !!. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Martin_s   10 #16 Posted June 8, 2004 Originally posted by Jamie I can let you all know that the bowl of ice cubes wasn't such a hot idea after all !!. heh...  I tied a bag of ice cubes in front of the fan... seems to cool things marginally but nothing spectacular..

Classic Rock   10 #17 Posted June 8, 2004 I picked up a fab device in Thailand called a 'Cooly'. It's a long narrow bag of silicone gel that you run under the tap, it expands and stays cold and you wrap it around your neck. Instantly cools you down.  I've been using a fan in the bedroom too.

Geoff   10 #18 Posted June 9, 2004 So Jamie, Martin - did the cooler turn up?  If so, spill the beans... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Martin_s   10 #19 Posted June 9, 2004 Originally posted by Geoff So Jamie, Martin - did the cooler turn up?  If so, spill the beans... Still waiting for my delivery.. got a confirmation but absolutely no time for when it would turn up...  Ice in a bag thing works really well though when placed in front of a fan and a towel put underneath for the condensation..  Takes the edge off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Jamie   10 #20 Posted June 9, 2004 Got mine @ 7.45 am this morning.  Actually they delivered 2 ... maybe they sent me yours Martin !? ...  Foolishly I phoned up to report their error ... and I was informed that I had only paid for 1 ...  The verdict ...  It's not as cold as a full on air con unit ... but it is cooling ... maybe if I filled it with ice cubes it would be even more cooling.  Not very quiet though ...
