Kotatsu are great. And you can apply the same concept to a desk. I have a tiny infrared panel mounted on the underside of my desk. IIRC it's rated 150W. I can comfortably work when the room is 15°C while the panel is on roughly 60%. That's 0.5kWh for a working day. A lot better than having to heat the whole room.

- bloopernova 4y agoYeah, the eBay listing described the table as a desk. Our original intent was to use the table for crafts, laptops, etc etc. It's very quickly morphed into the central location of our little townhouse :) I want to get some sort of reflective or insulating rug to alleviate some of the effects of the cold concrete floor. But until then, slippers do just fine!

- bloopernova 4y agoInteresting! I will look into that, thank you!
- trillic 4y agoI have a 3080 and 5800x under my desk. I turned off ECO mode and keep it slightly overclocked all winter. The more efficient my code, the colder I get.
- rahimnathwani 4y agoThis sounds like exactly what I need. Would you mind sharing a link?
