An ice filled cooler with a small electric fan to blow air over it will do a lot too -- add in some calcium chloride to the ice and now it will act as a desiccant and PULL water out of the air (and solve some of the high humidity issues).

But I still like the absorption cooler only because it speaks to the MacGuyver in me.
