The only electrical appliance in my bedroom is a clock radio, so not very hot!

 

Workshop and garage have a good quantity of 16a and 32a ceeforms, some of which normally have something lighting related plugged in rather than the machines they were put there for. No 3 phase here though :unsure: Unless I want to pay £££££ to upgrade the transformer and rewire half the village.

 

Loads of potential heat generation in the loft, but the single 13a socket up there won't run much of it!

As there have been a fast amount of people giving lists of stuff they have in their 'bedrooms' (don't know whether I can call then proper bedrooms when the main feature of the room isn't the bed!), I'd be interested to know how much of the kit which has been stated, is actually used regularly, in some form of heat generation mode, or whether it just sits in a dust gathering state instead.

 

And where on earth does the money come from?! A lot of the posters are only in their teens, but still have an awful lot of kit, and not just cheap stuff like LED cans! Dunno whether it's just 'cos I'm stingy and just save up money in ISAs rather than spend it on kit! Was a struggle to force about £750 from me a few months ago for a up to date desktop computer as my laptop was getting so slow.

 

edit: removed duplicated word 8-)

I'm sadly no longer in my teens (mid-20s!) however back in late-ish teens I had 4 fresnels and a Strand GSX... both of which were donated to me by someone that no longer had any use for them (still use the GSX to this day!)

 

Suppose the advantage (from a financial point of view) of being in your teens is you probably aren't paying for accommodation (and all that goes with it - utilities, council tax etc) and you're not to worried about investments for the future ... so if LX/Sound kit's your thing you can spend whatever you can earn on it ... although even then, these teens must be earning about as much as me! :unsure:

My bedroom is a storage area for quite a lot of my stuff, due to there being not much room in the rest of the house for it... but I use it at gigs and in productions on a surprisingly regular basis - sometimes on a daily basis in different locations. To the extent I dont use it at all at home, except maybe now and then to check the odd lead is working or that a bulb hasn't blown due to a quick de-rig.

Quite a lot of it's on loan/hire, but some has been bought from doing events, gaining money, and buying more equipment! Not as much as I'd like to have at the moment though...

Used to have a fair bit of gear in my room, but mainly computer/networking related gear...rack, computers, switches etc. Then went and built myself a nice decent workshop/shed which has pretty much all my stuff in it now. Fairly plain and simple in terms of bedroom now - computer, monitors, iMac lying about, network switch, laptop, lava lamp etc. Also have a random TAS MiniScan which I'm repairing for someone (what a horrible task that is...)

 

Another prominent feature of my room is my toolbox. Big bright yellow toolbox which I won't store anywhere else. Brother likes taking stuff y'see.

 

So not very hot overall!

Yeah, a whole lot of people are just using this as a "look what I keep in my room" thread. The OP says:

 

"the question is how hot is your bedroom?, in other words, what equipment do you have which can fri you eggs."

 

All I have is my home-built pc. There are 4 components inside which average temps of between 60-80* degrees (CPU, northbridge, southbridge, GPU). Keeps my feet pretty toasty if not the whole room! The PSU and 5 hard drives all maintain a healthy 35* as well. With the window closed and an hour of heavy load the room temp goes up from around 20 to 23*. Then I open the window :P

 

So to properly answer the OP's question, I could fry an egg on my CPU but it might not last very long :(

 

At the end of the day anyone having enough non-LED or flouro LX kit to heat the room significantly must be paying some nasty leccy bills.

You got an ML3000 for your birthday?

Could you not think of something more exciting to buy with the equivalent money?!
