Haha! So I saw a link to a news article about this company in France turning computers into heaters for the winter. They actually look kinda cool, but my first thought was, "We've been doing this for years already with BOINC!" :D

Now if only they could figure out how to make them cool things down in the summer =))

Better yet figure out how the computer could generate its own electricity. Something like a perpetual motion machine.

Enjoy...

I'd settle for a bunch of hamsters in wheels turning generators.

I guess it depends on where you live but I got the whole power thing figured out....

1.5 Mw wind turbine

Attach 100Kw of load in the form of computers and the money from selling the rest of the energy back to the grid goes into replacing both the computers and the turbine. and pays a wage

place a greenhouse complex next door to make use of the heat...etc. etc.

At the moment I could buy gen one E5's for cheap and run 400 of them = 12800 threads.

The only thing missing from my master plan is $5M

There is always a catch...that one is sort of a big catch.

However you can buy 5 kW wind turbines that mount in your backyard or roof for much cheaper. Still more cash than i have but some of you are better off than me [emoji14]
