i use a portable ac unit works wonder and u can pick em up in home depot or on ebay for bout 80$ :-D. A swamp cooler would also help u out a lot and those arent to expensive. I believe theres a few DIY on swamp coolers in the DIY Section. Happy Growing. :-D

Yes i would not worry bout the electric bill over the babies {electric bill being high is only a prob if u cant afford it}
so if u can get down to 83 with just fans thats great! USE THEM ALL DAY or go with ac but thats even higher on bill. 79f is the best temp if u ask me and 83 is not bad. 90 is a lil too warm but some plants will adapt better than others. A good fan= bout the same electricity as 2 100watt bulbs (no big deal) HAVE FUN!!!
