    Which type are the most energy efficient?

    Basically I don't want to be putting on the heating for the whole house when I am in the one small room for hours messing with Photoshop. Seems a waste so I am going to buy a small heater. I was thinking of the radiator likes ones with wheels. I'd say that they are the best. defiantly the quickest and hottest.

    What do you peeps think?

    Any sort of direct electrical heating is expensive, the most efficient option would be to highly insulate your room, the heat generated by your PC, lighting and yourself should maintain the room at an acceptable temperature.

    That really does not help man.

    insulated room? I dont own this place. Also there is a draft coming through one of the "closable" vents that I cant stop so constantly there is cold air comming into the room.

    I'm going off to get one of those radiator heaters (think they have oil in them) unless someone knows of a better type of radiator/heater that I can get for the room.

    Unfortunatly there's no question should I be getting one, I need it. The question is which one

    I'm not sure what's best method of portable space heating but try to get one with a thermostat control rather than just an option of "hot" or "hotter".
