I have to try this even though we have central air. Anyone built this or something similar?

If your freezer is located indoors, then there is no net cooling gain. Making the ice requires the freezer to dump an equivalent amount hot air into the home, so it's a wash.

We have a freezer in the garage and an overly warm bathroom with a vertical fan. A jug of ice in front of the fan? Hmmm...

I built one similar to this, but in a bucket opposed to a cooler. There
might
have been a slightly cooler breeze than just having a fan point at you. Save your time and your money.
