not too expensive to run (at least, not compared to heating or air
conditioning) 
 They're like little refrigerators, and most of them
 aren't very smart about the set-point you've selected
 in consideration of the actual temperature and humidity,
 so they'll happily run when they can't do their job.
 They work by condensation on the cooled coils. 
That's a good description, and it's true they're not very smart, but they
do work.  If the air gets too cold, just run a PDP-11 to warm it up  :-)
