Thanks guys. So I just got home from Fry's with smaller window-mounted unit. I must say that it was kind of a impulse buy because so many people were flocking to the units that it was practically cut-throat in there. A sales person said I didn't necessairly have to mount it in a window to use it so I have it sitting on my floor with plenty of ventillation. To my luck though, the back is spewing out extremely hot air so the cold/hot are basically cancelling eachother out..

I'll keep an eye out for the vertical mounted units you speak of, however I don't think it will work because it woul dhave to be 4ft tall x 2 feet wide to take up the entire window (IE bugs would be getting in if it were only say 2x2..)

Maybe I'll just get a pricey portable one and jimmy rig the hose to the screen or just cut a hole in it. All the heat is channeled out the hose, correct? And even if so, I'll still have to open the window about five inches to put the hose in, and that five inches is pretty substantial as far as letting heat in considering its about a 4+ft long slit..

Thanks again guys.
