My Personal Heater
So here in NE it can get pretty darn cold in the winter. Our house isn't exactly the warmest house on the block because we like to save energy. I really don't like the cold that much though so I got a heater to put in my room.
It is a rather big unit although it does the job well. We normally keep the house at around 20 degrees (Celsius that is) but upstairs it tends to be cooler for some reason, usually around 18 degrees. I spend most of my time upstairs which is why the heater is nice. It kicks on at 6:00 AM and heats the room up to about 25 degrees by noon even when I keep the door open. It keeps my room and the second floor nice and warm. It is an electric heater and not the most energy efficient, pulling about 125 watts. It is also quite noisy, but that isn't much of a problem. However, it is a good unit and its very powerful.
In case anyone is wondering you can see a picture of it up at the left. It is powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo processor.

Oh wait you are running the Smithfield Pentium D which is really two Prescott cores slapped on the same substrate with a G71 GPU.
 Never mind, you win. |

The gpu kind of makes up for it though it runs at like 34-39c under load =)

Wow, that is really cool for a 7900GTX. Mine idles at around 42 degrees and gets to around 50 degrees under load. That is probably where most of the heat comes from actually.

I Agree With Themisiek1, Get A Life. Talk About Something Worthwhile. I've Got A Subject. How About Let's All Do Something About The Price Of Gasoline. Anybody Ever Heard The Bakken Oil Fields And The Improved Horizontal Drilling Methods. Now Why Don't We Push This Subject. why aren't the candiates talking about this?
