1. Use a laptop [desktop comps produce much more heat]
2. Ice-air cooler.

1) This is not generaly true - my laptop is little son of a b*** from hell. After few hours of heavy heavy usage it gets so hot that I can not hold my hand on certain spots.

2) This. Even small climatization units can do miracles (in small rooms).

Desktops have more and bigger fans (and a big open air space,) so it could be that they are producing more heat but without actually ending up feeling as hot.

I don't know your exact room setup, but if you can get at least some difference in temperature in different parts of the house, you can get some "natural" airflow going. Tends to cool a lot.

He described it well enough that the idea is basically that he's got some natural airflow right up the stairs that's heating up his room.

You have an air vent, and it sounds like you have central cooling (air conditioning through vents). Is this correct?
You also have a fan. What type? Box fan?

Solution: Set up some ducting around the air vent, and use the fan to suck the cool air through the vents.

Fix your door would be my suggestion.

PS: I just found out someone already made what I suggested. It's called a swamp cooler.
