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