options in order of how good it will work.
1. in the room(heats the room and lots of noise)
2. cabinet and duct to return(less noise, but still added strain on a/c)
3. cabinet and ducted to exhaust(a bit more strain on the a/c due to make up air from outside but its actually a good solution to help the house air from getting stale and from the buildup of CO2 that occurs when your have your house closed off in summer and winter)
4. outside(quite, but unit must work harder when it gets over 85 outside)
5. crawlspace/basement(best yet, its outside and still in a cool space where it wont work to hard)
6. crawlspace/basement with a thermostatic controlled fan(just in case you saturate your crawspace with heat)
FYI mine will be in the basement where at worst it heats up about 1200 sqft of cool cave.
