Cashing in on excess server heat

Dutch company Nerdalize distributes remote servers in homes, resulting in cheap home heating for home owners, and discounted cloud computing for business. They seem to be commecializing a well trodden idea that many crunchers here are already doing in their own homes: switch on their spare computers and do some WCG work to heat the house when winter chills arrive. In the middle of the second video they show how Leiden University, as a customer of Nerdalizer, is using this system to solve gene and protein folding problems Heating Dutch homes cheaply with remote servers

Re: Cashing in on excess server heat

Was in the news, after the first 5 were installed, which go onto outside walls, so the excess heat can be vented in warmer periods. This is possible because the Netherlands is largely cabled up and fibered. They'll have to watch the dust-bunnies though, as it wont be a clean-room operation ;>)
