Ok that was a great description because I can actually visualize it. I think. So after the T, I need to simply use a round to square adaptor and seal it to the cooler intake. Right?

I had not considered the noise of it...not to mention the potential mess when getting water to it inside. I think i'll make a little outdoor hut for it with an input duct that changes direction. Crafty idea. Then I'll cut a big enough window for me to easily reach the control panels. I can probably find some scrap materials to make an airtight seal between the unit and the Hyurt.
