My workstation is my heater.

As it is a bit cold in Seattle this time of year, I have a habit of keeping the door to my office closed so that the heat generated from my workstation + lights tends to warm the room... usually enough to make the temperature tolerable.

The past few days have been especially cold, and I noticed that the heat output hasn't kept up.  However instead of turning on a 500 Watt heater, maybe I could increase the output from my computer instead?

So I installed Folding@Home, which utilizes my computers spare CPU and GPU cycles to study diseases.  Now, my  UPS's output draw reads:

227 Watts.  Enough to keep this room cozy, if I wear a sweater!  I'll turn off Folding@Home once the weather is warm enough.
