just checked right now, 79.9 in my room

Damn, thats hot. I like sleeping in a "refrigerated" room. We usually set the Thermostat to 72F when we're not sleeping and 69 when we are. 69F is where it's at!!

It would be so perfect to sleep in a 65 degree room. Unfortunately my wife probably wouldn't go for that.

Your not very lucky. Coldness is better.

WTF goes on in that empty head of yours?

Run a duct from the exhaust of your computer to the window.

A fan, some flex pipe, and you'll be good to go.

You could also exhaust it to the attic.

this would require cutting a hole, that would need to be sealed to properly work , and would add additional heat load at the ceiling and would need to be fixed upon departure.
Better to run it to the hot air return of the A/C unit to provide a higher deltaT at the heat exchanger coils.
It is, after all, where the hot air is designed to go to be cooled.

Any other other votes for a humidifier? I could actually afford one of those, as opposed to some other methods of cooling. I wonder how much a humidifier would actually help though.

To make a room seem cooler you would need to de-humidify it. The problem with most dehumidifiers is that they add a certain amount of heat to the surrounding area. Most times this is negligible, but in the small confines of a single room it could cancel out any dehumidification.

If you don't want to exhaust the heat out, but are willing to spend $100 check out evaporitive coolers (swamp coolers) on google.
