Example? I thought they were just a fan and sponge for evaporative cooling. So it makes the room moist and slightly cooler. Might work better in a dry country but I live in the UK.
That said I have thought of using a heat pump cooler for something like the desktop idea if the cooling can be directed at myself while the heating side is more dispersed. Alternatively though just pump water through some hose pipes and drape them over myself. Stick ice cubes into the water reservoir perhaps.
