My room is always 100°+ in the summer.

Then the temperature rises 5°-10° when I turn on my 360. :S It shouldn't be such a big problem anymore though, I just got a little window AC Dealie.

Mines the hottest room in the house too, I suppose the reason for mine being hottest in summer is, afternoon / evening sun shines into my room but throughout the day Xbox, TV, PC & Monitor churn out extra heat.

Fuçk me, now it is hot in my room again, my stupid ass air conditioner just broke.

Edit: I just found out why. Somehow it is frozen. I opened it up to look at the filter and it was covered in a solid sheet of ice. I don't know how the fuçk that could happen since it is so fuçking hot here.

My room has two computers, a CRT monitor, a Wii that is always on standby, a 360, and a PS3 to heat it up when it is already extremely hot.

No they don't. Once it is out of warranty you have to pay for it. But you do have a three year warranty against the red ring of death.....

yea they dont give you free repairs at all if its out of warrany, where on earth you hear that!? They extended the warranty to 3 years for the RROD, and only the RROD. Outside of that warranty to have to pay for them to fix it.

Thats just a temporary fix to get a few more days out of it, it doesn't really solve the problem.
