I've got a bulky Acer PC, and after about 30 minutes of gaming, my room feels like a sauna. The AC doesn't help much since the thermostat is in another room. In winter, I could just open the window to cool things off, but it's summer now, and that's not an option. I'm considering a standalone AC unit that I can vent out through the door, as my window design isn't compatible with standard AC units. I'm really looking for some suggestions or alternative solutions. Thanks!

Using a box fan can really help circulate air in and out of the room. Also, consider increasing the efficiency of your PC components if you can. I doubt venting your AC out the door would work well—could you not open your windows at all? There are units made for window use that just need a couple of inches to fit.
Oh, and I’d say it’s worth checking out some custom solutions too, like attaching something to vent the AC out under your door, but think about whether that might actually work.
1. A box fan could be good, but I usually keep my door shut.
2. I need my PC at peak performance for other reasons, not just gaming.
3. I'm thinking about custom designing an exhaust for my AC to fit under the door, but I know it might not be practical.
