I legitimately had to buy a heater after I stopped regularly using my desktop because it was what was keeping my room warm.

At that point you might as well run Folding@home on your PC just to act as a heater. It's literally a win-win for you and for society.

It's always been on my mind to find something for my computer to idle on. Never heard of "Folding@home". Thank you I'll try it out.
