Default small/one room AC unit

Anyone know of any decent one room AC units? Just something small I can plug in and have sitting in the floor. Window AC isn't an option, that's why I want something I can just leave in the floor.

Anyone know of good things like this?

oh yea, i forgot to add:

Has to be on the cheapish side. No use paying $200+ just to cool one room :|

If you want a portable a/c unit that can cool one decent sized room, but don't want to pay at least $200. You better start surfing craigslist, or get used to the heat.

They make portable air conditioners. They are pricey. They allow the (no window) option.

Those portable units run $300 and up...also they have to have a way to vent the air outside the room.
