nope.... the closest you can get is a split system with the condenser outside and the air handler inside, or a package unit where the entire unit is outside and the only thing that goes inside is the ductwork, power and controls.
A cheap system is going to have very high operating costs also... probably $125 - $150 per month *provided* that its installed correctly in the first place... if its installed by "Billy-Joe-Jim-Bob", or "Bubba" (the lowest bidder), then all bets are off.... you can look forward $250 - $300 a month just to run the A/C.
