Yes, and it can be a double-edged sword. My home office isn't heated (long story), so if I want some cheap heat in winter I'll fire up the old server and just batch convert some video. That's a pretty efficient room heater for 300 watts of power! Conversely I never convert video in summer...

- vostrocity 7y agoI remember seeing a few years ago a startup that made a panel heater that was really a computer that would mine Bitcoin or something.

- dboreham 7y agoUm, exactly the same? (By thermodynamics)
