Do you trust those built in thermostats - I've always heard they were junk. I would prefer to use a separate thermostat for security. I like the oil filled heaters that look like the old time radiators. They seem the safest to me. I have cats in the house and I don't want them to get burned either.

If I can keep my room 72-73 degrees - do you think my rack will be able to sustain a cool side of 74-75 degrees without having to run this heater. I just worry about fire hazards since I work all day.
