    Need advice on bedroom airconditioning

    thanks for your efforts. the system is indeed an option but i think i want something with less visual intrusion. even if its not a fully ducted system, something that allows me to place the bulk of Unit1 in the cupboard with just the vent on the bedroom side. the wall is only a few cm thick...
