heh. I just discovered that my newly remodeled basement office holds the heat in *REALLY* well. (New proper walls on top of the concrete; brand new triple-pane windows and sliding glass door that are way more efficient than the old aluminum-frame single-pane stuff that was in here before.
So much so that when we came back from our Thanksgiving trip, the office was a good 15 °F toastier than the room right next to it. Even more amazing is the fact that it was heated by three computers: a MacBook Pro, a Power Mac G4 Digital Audio with a 1.5 GHz upgrade, and my new fast-fast, Core i7. And that's it. This room doesn't even HAVE a heat vent, and the furnace was off, to boot. (It's not that big a room, though. Maybe 8' by 20'
The Power Mac G4 is my server, and goes to sleep from 11:00 PM to 6:00 AM daily. The MacBook Pro and the Core i7 desktop were sitting running World Community Grid the whole time. And we were only gone for about 36 hours!
