I'm back, with hopefully some posts. Anyway, I'm having to shut down my computer every time I'm not on it or when I'm not gonna be using it for a while so that I can keep the room its in below 95 degrees (it reached that temp right before dad put the AC in). Right now as I type this, its 89.4 degrees in here, at 8:38 PM.

And during the winter, my computer does a good job keeping the room at a steady temperature of about 70 degrees.

Do any of you have computers that can heat rooms during the winter or make a mini-Arizona during the summer?

Yes, my computer really heats up my room as well. I have to set my AC lower just to keep my room at a bearable temperature. It's quite annoying, really.

I suppose having 3 7200rpm hard drives and a 3ghz pentium 4 could heat it up

I put my computer on the highest possible power settings in the winter, for the best performance, and I put it on total power saver in the summer. That helps maintain the temp a bit, though I do keep my A/C on really high in the summer.
