Eh,  it was just a bad joke about using it as a heater....

I did some looking at power consumption - and its pretty crazy where the
Pentium D's really sit.....

Pentium D 940 3.2 GHZ         130 Watts
P4 Mobile 2.0GHZ                  21 Watts
Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHZ              65 Watts
Core 2 Quad 3.0GHZ              130 Watts
AMD X2 5400+                       89 Watts
Turion X2 2.0 GHZ                   35 Watts

Dont video cards these days draw upwards of a couple hundred watts by
themselves?
