Recycling heat??

I live in a mid-terrace modern house. Upstairs I have a couple of computers and a few other bits of equipment. In the summer it gets very hot up there. Some of the equipment is in a cupboard so stays fairly contained in there for a while. Is there some way of using this hot air for something? Instead of running a load of fans all day and letting it all disappear out of the windows.

    I don't think an air heat exchanger would be very efficient so a bit difficult to use excess heat in the air. It is unlikely all the heat is due to your office equipment so the excess heat in summer may be an indicator that you could benefit from some more house insulation to better regulate the seasonal temperature fluctuations.
