This soultion may be undo-able, but I've seen people setup computers in adjecent rooms and run the wires though a hole in the wall. Thus making the other room hot, but their own confortable.

I've owned an HVAC buisness for more than 20 years now. Whatever heat you remove from your rig has to go someplace (the room) A mini split is the ultimate solution. Super quiet, very efficient, but costly.
Heat always move from hot to cold. What you really need to do is remove the heat. I take it you have central A/C already in your home? Where is the air handler to the central unit? In the attic or the basement? Is it possible at all to get a return air duct into the room somehow? That would be your cheapest solution.
You should at least run the central unit fan to "ON" not "auto" while gaming. That will at least run the fan constantly, which will help equalize the air temp thoughout the house. Leave the door open and a fan, pushing the hot air out, will help also.

I'd go for the mini split!

Unit is in the basement but there is ducting in the attic. I never thought of adding a return duct to the room. The current one is in the upstairs stairwell it just seems like the air gets trapped in the office for whatever reason. Yeah I tried that last night with just having the fan run. I have a ceiling fan but I feel that just blows the heat down on top of me or sucks it up so that it gets stuck in the top. I live in maryland so weather here is unpredictable. One day 70 degrees the next low 40's you just never know so when its jumps im usually roasting in the office. I keep my AC unit at around 73 and the office feels like 80 plus easily. I took the overclock off of my cpu and gpu.

Exactly what everyone is saying. I used to have this problem, I just leave the door open, I plan to add an exhaust fan though from my Computer room to the outside world to let the heat escape, remember, Hot air rises.

and hmm...he has 100 sq feet? i have a 10x10 room for an office. between 2 other rigs running 24/7 and my main one when i start it up at night and on weekends i have a 5k BTU portable AC that i have to use during the simmer central air controls it fine, but as it gets cooler and the heat comes on, i tape over the vent to the office and start up the portable AC, mind you ive had this unit for a number of years, as i used to live in an apartment with no AC.

if your going to do a split return on your central unit, put the return vent in the ceiling, so it draws the hot air out.
