Square to circle flange attached to the back of the PC via screws, a small fan halfway through the system, and a foam insulation board with wire mesh to make the end
With summer approaching, i’ve solved the hot room issue

Single hose will still work and lower the temps in your room you will get just much less bang for the buck than with a proper AC.
Sorry, can you elaborate?
My understanding is:
AC has two air circulation requirements: one for the condenser (where the heat is extracted) and one for the evaporator (where the air is cooled).
A two-hose unit would have one intake and one exhaust hose, using air outside the home for the condenser to extract heat. The evaporator will cool and recirculate air inside the room. So air is circulating outside the room, with another circulating system inside the room.
A single-hose unit would have only an exhaust hose. It would use air from inside the room for both the condenser and evaporator. This creates negative pressure in the room, which means air has to be pulled into the room (via vents or gaps in the door, etc) and that air pulled into the room is warmer.
The single hose units do still blow the cooled air back into the room, wouldn't the effect be a relatively neutral pressure?
Yes but air is still being ported to the condenser and exhausted out through the hose, that’s where the negative pressure comes from.
