Cutting Energy Corners...

[Zephyr]

Okay, I've figured that it would cost less to heat my room via one of those mini heaters. Get it to 82 F, and leave it there with fluorescent lights on the garters. Are there any downfalls to the mini heaters?
Like gases emitted or anything?

Wow... its weird that you brought this up because I was actually planning to ask this same question. Those little heat towers at walmart save a lot of $$ on the electric bill, we have 3 of them running at our house and our electric bill did not even go up, AND our gas heat doesnt turn on which means.... less $$ on energy!

Here is what I use Kyle. It does a fine job, is inexpensive to operate and gives off NO fumes. (Does not dry the air like a heater with a fan does either)

we have one of those, I think it's in our attic... I have a small heater on my bench in the basement, so I keep warm when working on cables. Soon the basement is going to have heat down there! I can't wait~

Personally, I don't heat my attic.

I also have an oil heater and they are very inexpensive and heat the room easily

do as i do, i got 7 servers in my room (computers) and it keeps the room 80-85F with a exhaust fan in the window 24/7. right now i have it at a nuice 79.2F with the door cracked a bit letting the colder air in from the hallway

that's what I use too and we've had ours for at least five years
we had another little electric one with a fan and it became unreliable after two years
