I have a small game room on the 2nd floor of my home. It's roughly 10x14 with a closet(aka pin repair center). It has 6 pins and a Tempest. It gets really hot in the room despite having a dedicated central AC unit for the upstairs. After ruling out a few more expensive options, I decided to add a window unit.
All of the existing games and a computer were running fine on the original wiring. I must have been lucky. I had and electrician add two additional 18amp circuits. "No problem, we will be out tomorrow". They came and put it in as requested. They get paid, I get circuit. 
I called my AC man. "No sir, we don't put in window units". 
"Really? I'm happy to pay you", says me. "No sir, we don't do that". I had a suspicion that the person I spoke with did not own the company, but I moved on anyway.
Window unit #1. Unbox, assemble a few attachments. This looks quite easy. Uh oh! My window is 42", that's too big. I return it. Only later does a friend tell me how to solve that issue.
Window unit #2 Unbox. Assemble really fast, cause I'm a pro now. 
Then I drop it out the window. 
No not on grass either. Right on a metal porch roof (that it punctures). The window unit blew up like an IED hit it. All the coolant leaked out etc. It was hanging by 2 of the 3 wires connecting it to my wall. My only regret is that I did not get a picture.
Window unit #3. Went right in! I went to the store and confessed that I completely destroyed it because I am stupid. They felt sorry for me and told me to just get another one, no charge. // Error: Image 104312 not found // // Error: Image 104313 not found // // Error: Image 104314 not found //
