Maybe I thought of this cause I live just outside of Boulder, CO, aka Hippietown USA, or as my friend calls it, "twelve square miles surrounded by reality", but isn't it a waste to be venting all that hot air generated by components? I mean, electricity from coal comes from heating water with hot air...what do you think a water cooling system is? Why can't we harness the heat generated by our CPUs, GPUs, NBs, MOSFETs, etc, and convert it into electricity that can be fed either back into the system, or into other components (Printer, monitor, battery charger, etc)? Heck, we could use that energy to run a cooling system for our computers!
One problem is, of cource, the high boiling point of water...maybe we don't need to use water...
Its just an idea, anyone want to expand on it?
