50°? That's Phoenix. It gets close here, though... Wednesday's supposed to be 45ish. It never gets anywhere near that in my apartment, though, even with the computer running and me cooking. I bet it's a good 10° or so cooler in here with nothing running.

I think my aircon did go out, though.

I usually don't leave my computer running anyway, winter or summer, just because. Partly because I'm cheap (my electric's about $25-35, and I don't wanna pay any more than that), but mostly out of habit.
