What You Need
You will need a
.Burger styrofoam box
.A small exhaust pc brushless DC fan the thicker the width the better!!thin fans wont have mush airflow thicker ones better!
.Some mounting tape
.Multi purpose glue
.A huge big pc heatsink> longer fins...better
.Or and alternative to the heatsink is cutted out in can into rectangular shape with holes in it will do
.Power for the fan itself(self-known)
.Lots of ice
all these totalled up to be less then $5USD

Cuttin Holes
Hehe.. cut holes.. for the fan... fitting nicely fot the fan to be fitted in..
then cut another hole at the other side so that the air will come thru it..
mount the fan at the opening of hole with folded monting tape..
i use mounting tape and and not glue because glue will eat up the styrofoam and will eat up ...causing holes!OMG serious.!
place the wires to the outside of your box so that power will be supplied in for the fan

Placement of Heatsink
hehes heres a trick part...
for me i used a heatsink because it helps conduct the cold from the ice and water and also to dissipate it thru the moving air in the box..it is really effective way to dissipate the cold thr the air in the box
make shure that the heatsink is placed from the top of the box and the base which must touch the ice or water so that conduction can
take place.
Placing more heatsink will be better as more concetrated cooled air will exit but the heatsink must not be too clogged up or so squeesy that cause obstrution to the air flow causing exit air not that strong.

FINALLY!!!
Make shure all bond are dry and are strong..
and plug in your power supply in it and do a final check if everythings ok
Then add ice. and SOME or NO water in
switch on your fan.. nad place cover on top

Enjoy the Coolness
This is not meant for big spaces... only direct cooling. unless you got a really strong fans... or maybe ... more fans added...
Just that make shure that its a burger box size... small..reliable
and heres some ideas to use it!
place it on your workdesk...
place it in an enclosed box
or even putting it in front you for sleeing(i did that at camps)HAHA! serious!.. its everywhere!!
haha do show your ideas and improvements to be made.
