Fuel and electrical costs are going to be the determining factor in how cost effective it is for the individual.

When looking at the broader picture, it's usually easier to transport electricity than fuel, and large power plants are much more thermally efficient than burning fuel on-site in small quantities.

40-60% for a large, modern, gas or steam turbine is pretty damn efficient, all things considered.

Transporting hot water long distances is much less efficient than transporting electricity.

Haha. Not like anybody has been doing this for the past couple of years.

Somebody patent it under Overclock.net's name. Then we can sue Microsoft.

Now we can host our own servers.

One of the supercomputers built by IBM did something similar; the system was watercooled, so the hot water from the CPUs was passed through a heat exchanger to heat the building next door (it was on a university campus).
