cool!!
Isn't that technically an evaporative cooler and not an air conditioner?
does it matter what it's technical term is? he just used the word "air conditioner" for the people who don't know.
maybe this could've had the wiring diagram of the usb cable to fan's power seeing usb contains data and power cables inside
