I've got a bulky Acer PC that turns my room into a sauna after about 30 minutes of gaming. My air conditioning isn't very effective since the thermostat is in another room. In winter, I could just crack open a window, but with summer heat, that's not an option. I'm considering getting a portable A/C unit to vent heat out the door, but since my window isn't suitable for any venting solutions, I'd love to hear your suggestions or alternatives to keep my room cool while I game. Thanks!

Using a box fan can really help circulate air in and out of the room. Also, try maximizing the efficiency of your PC components. I wouldn’t recommend venting an AC unit out the door since it might not work effectively. But if your windows open at all, there are units designed to fit those openings that might work better than you think. Let me know what you decide!
1. I might give the box fan a shot, but I prefer to keep my door shut.
2. My PC needs to perform at its peak for several tasks beyond just gaming, unfortunately.
3. I thought about making a custom exhaust attachment for the portable AC that fits under the door, but I'm worried that may be impractical. My window only opens outward with vertical hinges, so I'm not sure if that's a viable option.
