For long as I can remember it's always been hot in my computer room. It's usually about 10 to 15F hotter in my computer room than any other room in my house. I have a portable AC unit in my computer room because I can't deal with the heat. Although I'm getting tired of the AC unit. I'm guessing it's the video card putting off most the heat. I know the 4870 that I have dumps out quite a bit of heat.
What do most people do about this? I can't imagine everyone is just putting up with the heat computers push out. I doubt everyone is buying portable AC units either. I guess the only option is to buy components that put out less heat, especially the video card. But I'd like to know how everyone else deals with it before I buy anything.
