OK, where can I buy it? I want some for my computer room. Along with
some decent insulation and double-studding the walls, that'd be an
awesome way to both keep the outside heat *and* noise out :)

That's a novel idea. Use your swimming pool water as chiller water for
your cooling system. The downside is that your swimming pool gets warm
and doesn't provide the same relief from the heat as it did before, but
it's definitely a good idea. I'd bite. Pumping the water through the
system has *got* to be cheaper than running the closed-system
evaporative compressor. Most of us with swimming pools (sadly, I'm not
one of them) have the pump and filter running almost all the time
anyways, so this wouldn't add much to the electric bill (if at all). It
would also be nice if it could somehow take advantage of the latent
cooling the ground might provide, but something tells me this wouldn't
last too terribly long with 90+ degree water flowing through it.
It'd definitely be worth a shot. Something to consider when I end up
buying a house. :)
