Installed a vent into the desk with a high powered fan underneath.
Figured we joked about it enough, but this thing keeps my office snug & warm throughout winter without having to expend a single extra cent in heating.

Hot air gets trapped under the desk, which decreases cooling efficiency. The vent and the fan spread the hot air upwards, where it was already going anyway. So in terms of heat output into the room, not much has changed, but the 'feel' of where the hot air is certainly has. It now feels a lot cozier in there and my cpu stays a bit frostier.
