I have an antic phenom box. Besides a desktop and a home 4 disk of zfs 
in raidz-1, besides obvious part it is a local additional heating for 
me. Bigger and quieter fans help even injection of it into the air.

However, having a crypto-farming box for heating doesn't fit my money 
math and risk envelope.
