Can anyone tell me how to add another AC vent. I have a closet where I keep my cable modem, router and switch and unfortunately it is not air conditioned, I have attic access there and i can see one of those AC boxes with the ducts coming out of it. Can i just add another hole and run some more duct to my attic?

Yes you could - better idea would be to run a "cold air return" to that room - suck the hot air back to the AC unit.
You can add a vent but with a closed closet, you will not get good airflow, have to keep door open. the negative pressure return would help but again, you need to get "flo" into the closet - or the push /pull will strain the ac pump.
adjust door of closet to have larger space on bottom or take door off and cut bottom so there is more air flow.
Good luck - careful not to fall through ceiling :)

you can do that but it will take away air from other parts of the house. you could add a louver to the door. cut a hole at the bottom of the door to fit a louver into it then plase a small fan in the closet to help get rid of the heat

Yes, though depending on the kind of air pressure your getting, you may want to add an inline fan to the duct as well.
