Looks like a slower dumber version of the Large Hadron Collider. It could be more expensive too.

My apartment is like a sweatbox.

I've got AC and two fans running. I think I need one of those room units. Because the AC only brings it down to a bearable temperature. It is by no means air conditioned feeling in there.

The Dyson only moves air, it doesn't cool it. Get one of the window AC units if they are allowed where you live (some places ban them as they are energy hogs). The basic ones cost about 1/3rd of the Dyson fan.

Wouldn't mind restoring one just for desk use.

Original or restored? Those GE's go for a pretty steep price now, even unrestored

Either you're sharing A/C units, they are too small, or they need to be serviced. I'd bitch at them till their ears fall off on getting it fixed.
