I would suggest white not back to help reduce the heat load, but unless
those windows are large and you get a lot of sun in them, I would not think
they are the only problem, but maybe.

In the coming few days, I am going to buy some uber thick white
curtains. I'll see how it goes and post back.
thanks

BTW, comp was off for 5 hrs+

And how long is it usually on each day?

Maybe once a week it's off for 2hrs or less.

BINGO. IMH&NSEO.

What does IHM&HSEO mean please?

Also, are you or anyone else suggesting that the heat problem in my
room is because the computer is on all the time?

Not those "see-through" paper thin curtains I have???

In My Humble & Not So Educated Opinion.

I think it all contributes. Maybe 50/50 or 30/33/33. I guess I'd try
the most likely or cheapest/easiest to remediate first How much the
windows matter, I can't tell from here. I do try to remember to close
my curtains on sunny days in the summer time, except 6 inches for a
breeze. When I don't, it's definitely too warm when I get to the
room. I almost never use AC.

I have friends who even with AC are planning on putting film on their
living room bay window. They can just stand there and feel all the
heat coming in.
