:roll: I can feel the heat rolling over my keyboard coming from my PC again. See what happens when you turn the A/C off:rockout:

I hate it. Not only do I have the heat coming from my PC and monitor, but I've also got an entire A/V rack sitting next to me producing a ton of heat, and you can't forget the TV either. If I were in charge of the temperatures this house would be kept at 65º F. I'd save a lot of money during the winter, but it would cost me during the summer. I'd rather be too cold than too hot. You can always put on more layers.

oh I have the same feeling, I always keep the AC up stairs at 70.

Damn how hot do your computers get.
I got 2 in my room and I honestly cannot feel the heat.
And yes they are both on for extended periods during the day and night (but not 24/7).
And it is usually 65F in my room...Sometimes 70F.

since i moved, i wish my computer can heat up my new room like my old. now in the room i have my xbox360 and that doesnt help push up the room temp.
both sit at around 45c, which is nice, but my feet get bloody cold.

Heating in my computer room sucks, I'm so happy to have a super powerful computer to do the heating for me :D. Just to let you guys know, space heaters aren't the ONLY thing you can do with a hot computer. If you make your own heatsink with heatpipes and whatnot, you can get a serious griddle going :). Seriously, think about it lol. Use heatpipes to transfer heat from a P4 EE prescott, and then do the same for your X1900XTX's :laugh:. Need toast? Just let the system sit on idle. Need to cook tonights pork chops in a flash? Start folding@home :roll:.
dont worry, cpu can handle 65-75F just fine, but its not good for them.
o yea, for sktA its really not good.

I'm pretty sure you mean 65-75C, because 65-75F hasn't been seen on a CPU with stock cooling since the days of P1 MMX :).
