at least  ~35+ WU's/day (???), but that's a real 'shot in the dark', on my

Remembering the WaterCooled PC heating the aquarium project, wouldn't it be
possible to use the waste heat produced by that fleet, for heating the
house and maybe some hot water? :-)


I had similar thoughts a while ago. However, I wouldn't want my CPUs overclocked and running hot enough for the temperature of my hot water.

With a little added complication, you could use the waste heat to pre-heat the water going into your hot water tank. You could even give a boost using a heat pump. Although, I doubt that such complications would be worthwhile.


I still favour the evaporative cooling ideas as discussed on here some time ago... Should get rid of the cooling fans noise also.

Happy crunchin'
