Lowe's has a real air conditioner, for $89 (5,050 BTU). This is what I just bought today. This unit will cool 150 sq ft room. AC units work a ton better then a swamp cooler.

Oh, and do not listen to the hired help when they say they do not carry them. They are were two isles over from the swamps.

Here is the link to this AC unit.
