Hey /g/ I have a central AC in my home, but after it shuts off my room can get kinda hot at times because of my PC and recently old PS3, and a snake.
Well anyways, any way too cool all of this? Is there some sort of fan or something that I can use to cool all of this down. I like being in the cool or cold, the heat bothers me.
Thanks in advance.
How about working vents in your home like most AC systems have?

They do, but I already explained faggot. After it shuts off the room heats up quite a bit fairly quickly, because of everything that I have.
SO I was thinking there should be some way to maintain a cool temperature without having the AC running all the fucking time, and even if I did it still turns off for a bit and it will just heat up.

Where's your thermostat?
My PS4 blows hot air directly on to my thermostat so it thinks its always like 90F which keeps the central AC blowing cold

Close other vents in your house some, that way most of the cool air isn't being pumped into oher rooms of the house as much.

S'GUCCI
Also put the thermostat in your room.

Thermostat is by the AC unit

How much should I close it?

Save money keeping just your room cool vs. cooling the whole house because your room is hot. Although personally I like this style better.

Portable, doesn't require a true "install", can get it closer to your PC for extra cooling.

If you live in an older home, I wouldn't recommend closing many vents, this can create a pressure build up in your central duct and cause holes to blow out in it, letting cool air out into the attic instead of where you want it to go.

IT"SS GUCCCCCII, BURRRRR
I think I would have to do to much work, I was thinking of something more simplistic, like an air tower.
>>55058782
This is why. It's probably in a hallway or living room. The problem with this is this means your AC only gives a shit about the thermostat reading the temperature you have set.
You've got a couple of options. A) Move your Thermostat to the room you keep your PC. This in itself isn't too difficult, the issue becomes it will probably make the rest of your house really fucking cold (unless you do some vent management). B) Buy a dedicated A/C unit for that room in particular. They sell your standard window units, those are extremely effective in keeping a single room fucking cold, but they can draw a good bit of power. Another option here is a cooling tower, they're generally cheaper all around, but not quite as effective.
Your last option would be get a shitty ~$20 fan, open your door, and have the fan direct air from the rest of your house into the room that's too hot.
>>55058831
Actually yes you are correct, this happens a lot, especially if your AC moves a lot of air.
>>55058812
I could but that would add a lot to my bill, need something that can cool decently but doesn't draw a lot of power.
>>55058853
Hallway correct. I like the 3rd option of a tower. I can set it in a way that it cools my entire area. Are there any decent ones?
>>55058857
I know I'm correct, thats why I said it. You added nothing to this conversation, thank you. :^)
>>55058152
Get a window unit for your room. Then you can actually set your main A/C a little higher and it will turn on less, which will help offset the added cost from the second unit.
They're dirt cheap these days, I had one like the one in the picture (except mine had two hoses, one for in and one for out) and it was amazing and doesn't look anywhere near as white-trash. Literally cooled my room off by 10 degrees and only ran for like 10 minutes at a time every hour or so.
>>55058857
Okay
>>55058841
If I were you I'd probably just get a portable AC unit, family. They're versatile AF, I have one cooling my server nook.

Which one do you have?
