I've been doing this for years... turned off all the radiators in our apartment and it's been heated by computers ever since. Not pleasant in the summer though. :^)

Which is why I have my air condition set to turn on whenever it goes above 68 to 72 degrees F. Which happens year round.
Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes.

My computer crunches seti@home data 24/7 and on cool evenings here in Florida it doesn't even warm the small room it is in.
