[RFI] Window Air Conditioner Advice Wanted

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

I have a little 8000 or 10000 btu one for my 12 x 20 shack. Keeps it 
nice and cool with 4 or 5 computers, screens, rigs, amps, etc.   One is  
CCH and the other is a Honeywell for my shop office.  I have never 
noticed any noise from either.  They both sit on the floor with an 
adapter to vent the hot air.
