As said above, so much of the rig's power use ends up in heat that you can consider a 100% transformation. I had one of my rigs in my bedroom for a while and it heated it fine.
The main issues to consider are the noise and light. Poorly built GPUs can make a lot of noise when running at full speed (I won't even talk about ASICs!). A blinking ethernet light can also be really annoying.

You can cover the LED if you wish. I think the noise problem is a big one. It is not feasible to mine in summer.
