Hey guys! TLDR; Moving Gaming setup in front of baseboard heater because of new larger bed installation. I am trying to figure a way to make sure my electronics don’t get damaged by the heater.I am currently a college kid with a huge passion for gaming. I have a white table in my room that serves as my gaming "desk" and I am planning to move it over in front of a base heater very soon.Here is an imgur album of my gaming setup and my room: http://ift.tt/2i42UH6 am moving my gaming setup in front of the base heater because I am moving a new and larger bed into my room soon. I did some googling before I came on here and could not find much about this problem. I am worried about the base heater melting the wires and damaging my gaming electronics. I don't use the base heater too much because my room stays pretty warm regardless but when it gets colder in the year (currently Winter here east coast) I will start using it more. I have thought of a couple approaches to this problem but I am curious if DIY has some better ideas.One solution I thought might work is to zip tie the wires to the back of the table legs. The table has four legs that are metal. Two in the front and two in the rear of the table. I worry though that the heat might still get to them even though they are zip tied away from the baseboard heater. Another question is how far of a distance do I need to have the table legs and the desk as a whole away from the baseboard heater to make sure it is safe?Another solution I thought could be buying a metal gutter. To clarify, picture a house gutter and how the shaped of it is a rectangle like shape with one side open to catch water. I would purchase a metal shaped gutter like that and then lay it vertically in line with the table legs. Essentially the metal “gutter” Would go over the wires that are zip tied to the table legs and protect the table legs and the wires from the heat because there would be a metal barrier.Please help me out if you have some good ideas to make sure these electronics don’t get damaged by the heater. Thanks! via /r/DIY http://ift.tt/2AwAXj0
