Upcoming Asus Chromebox looks like it would make a decent cheap home server?

Cool stuff, thanks for explaining

At least one per room?! Add a couple more and you could turn the heating off, low power consumption or not!

Nah, here in the US we use new LED flat screens that produce virtually no heat. You should really recycle those old back-and-white tube TV's you guys are still watching down to Pub!

I will continue heating my house with CRTs and VAXen until the day I die!

What, no holograms yet?

We actually had a very old CRT in our student house a few years ago, which was almost unbearably dark where it was wearing out, even on full brightness. It did used to heat the room up quite well though, which is just as well seeing as we didn't have the heating on unless it was snowing... its only other redeeming feature was that it was so heavy, when we were burgled the scum left it because they didn't fancy carrying it!

Yeah, radiation will do that.

You mean it wasn't worth stealing!

That too! Wouldn't make for a quick getaway either, it was quite a big one.
