I just bought a $20 space heater from Wal Mart. It has a 900W setting
and a 1500W setting. It does a pretty good job heating the room. The
problem is that the built in thermostat lets the room get too cool
before it turns on and too hot before it turns off.

Anyone want to recommend one that has better temperature control?

Hi Terry

This might fill the bill:

And if you're comfortable working with electricity, you could "roll
your own" by wiring a 120-volt thermostat to an extension cord.

Cheers,
Paul

IMHO:

You noticed the problem having the thermistat so close to the heat
source. There are some plug in types of thermostats, however you
might want to seriously look into another way to heat, or conserve
heat. Is this your home?

Yes it is my home. I have central heat/air, but I keep it around 66.
Because my computer is in my bed room I just keep that room a little
warmer than the rest of the house. It is just me.

You need a bigger computer ; ) mine heat the room, I keep it cooler in
this room for that reason.
