Title. I have no choice in my new apartment to either set up my PC near the heaters on the walls it not at all. The heaters are this -https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTSq5L_KoRK-ux0Jopw7rwqRKGYL7CgoisUQsZ-qehk_u0Bqdoq-w all along nearly every wall and it would be in the way of doorways if I orient it the other way. It's not possible to turn off specific radiators either off or on, but it does have a little slider thing which you can use to redirect airflow. Is there any negative effect on your computer for putting it near one? It would be on a 2 foot or so desk elevated near.

I have no choice in how I can hook it up and just moves in so I won't be moving again for quite a while haha.

Can't say for sure, as i don't understand much of eletricity.
But i believe if you PC is plugged in a good line filter, there's no problem.

Wait for someone with a deeper knowledge in this topic, he might solve this question for us 🙂
Just monitor your CPU,MOBO and GPU temps with CPU-Z.
If they are at safe/normal temps, you have nothing to worry.

If those temps are high, you'd have to get some better coolers to keep them cold because of those heaters.

Aside from that, it's safe.

AFAIK After sleuthing around the Internet, static is not an issue. I mean it's not like it would be blowing right into my PC if at all. The side intake is on the left side of the case and the heater is only on the right. Not to mention it would be on a desk blocking some of the airflow, hopefully I should be okay haha, as I definitely can't go without using it
