Because energy cannot cease to exist, and
the chips in our computers do little to no
work physics wise, our computers are essentially expensive, low wattage fan
heaters. I propose that we occasionally utilize the heat instead of simply "blowing
it off". For example, you could have
several motherboard,
processor, ram, and
solid state hard disk combos of the
highest wattage per dollar running a
distributed computing project heat your
water. Or perhaps you could buy a ton of
cheap dell towers and use them as a
forced air heater. Sure it's not cost
effective, but imagine all the protein you
could fold...

Water cooling for computers is baked, and so it should be possible to daisychain a number of such items and use it to preheat the hot water system. Good thinking [+]. |
