I currently have 11 video games and a pin in my tiny (about 20x18) upstairs gameroom. The room was serviced by a single 15 amp breaker. Needless to say, at about 10 machines, I was flipping the breaker. I had an electrician come out and run two 20amp lines with quad outlets, in addition to the 15amp circuit. Should be good now.
I've also noticed that the room starts heating up after the machines have been powered up for a couple of hours. My house does not have zoned A/C, so there's not much I can do to add cooling with the central air. I pulled the trigger on a Black+Decker 10,000BTU portable A/C unit:

I'm hoping this will provide enough cooling to compensate for the heat from the machines. The specs say it pulls about 7.5amps, so I should have enough headroom.
Do any of you have experience with these small, portable A/C units? Good, bad or otherwise?
