There was a thread about this last summer I think?

I've actually read that fans, while it feels cooler, actually heat the air up and can cause a place to get hotter throughout a day*. I've had my best success with two portable air conditioners, no fans and just put them in the rooms you spend the most time in (bedroom, living room) and let it be a bit hotter in other areas. But the other areas usually stay cooler anyways. Being a two story you may want to look at 3 or so though.
*I'm not claiming fact to this and I'm sure there are smarter people who can tell me why I'm wrong.
