So recently moved from the New England area to Florida. We're renting a house and I've selected one of the spare bedrooms to be my dedicated poker room.
I keep it closed so the cats don't get in and get their fur all over everything and scratch up the table.
However, when I had a game in the room it got too hot with the door closed. I bought a window A/C unit to correct this problem, only to discover that the windows in this room only open about 10 inches, and a window A/C unit isn't going to fit.
I figured my only option now is to buy a bunch of fans to run in the room (note I have an apartment sized fridge and a 32" tv/monitor plus a laptop going when we play as well) but I'm worried maybe that won't be enough with 10 people playing in the closed room.
Should I just crank up my central A/C that day in the hopes it'll get that room cool enough, buy a few fans to run inside or any other tips on how I can ensure it remains comfortable (aside from opening the door and letting the cats in)
