Seems like option 3 is the best
But do you really want to be watching your bisexual porn and having a good wank in your laundry room?

take the bus, and eliminate plastic waste. oh wait I already posted that advice 😉
I use public transportation semi regularly. In all it comes out to about an hour a week for me. The time I save versus driving is marginal. 15 minute difference.
Agreed on the plastic waste we are creating. It's terrifying.

My pressing current project
Relocating my PC tower to a location to use its passive heat or get the heat out of the house.
Ideas thus far
1. Putting my PC in my AC mechanical closet.
The space is double insulated, quiet and cool. The rise in heat gain would quickly be evaporated by the HVAC Central Unit. I stuffed my DVR in the same closet. Keeps it cool and keeps the rest of the house cool.
Problems: Space
2. Putting my PC near my water heater. The water tank would absorb the ambient air it puts out which is aroun 85F. The water tank would sock up that heat and store it.
Problems: the air handler/hvac unit sits above it and the grated door would that the air flows through would be blocked and lower my CFP for the air handler return. Thus a new hole would need to be cut in the wall to allow more airflow.
3. Putting it in my mud room/laundry room. (Current Best Idea)
The room is insulated, I would need to cut a hole in way to run the cables into the master. The hot air would then be removed via exhaust fan. Which can be kept on for the summer and off in the winter. Bonus would be the laundry could be dried by air by the ambient rise in hemp store and the low humidity.
4. Keep it in my master bedroom (Simplest solution )
Hook up a dry exhaust duct to the outgoing aircraft Remove the exterior brick and have the air flow go outside.
