My A/C is broken and my house temp is 90F. It may be 24 hours before it's fixed and we're bored and trying to find activities that don't require us moving at all (conserve body temp)... e.g. watching movies.

Is it going to be bad for my receiver (or any other components: speakers, LCD TV, DVD, PS3) to run at this room temp? All is well ventilated... my gut instinct would be to worry most about the PS3. However I was running receiver earlier and it felt pretty hot to touch.

Can't really find specs on any of this in the manuals.

Am running my PC with case wide open and desk fan blowing into case... EVEREST reports ok temps.
