Racks or altered closet?

I think I'm going to heat the room to around 88 degrees. It's just the easiest thing for me, and I don't have to worry about heat tape fires. Good luck to all of you

Fires from heat tape come from bad wiring. IF done right its safe, just takes time and more money to start up.

I would love to use just room temp but its not comfortable to work in.

I probably could use heat tape, but I don't want to risk it. I used to live in Texas, so the temps won't bother me too much.

You could also use heat cord, then you dont have to worry about the fire hazard...

Do any people on this site use ambient temps instead of racks?
