So I have this silly idea/longterm project of wanting to run a server on renewables on my farm. And I would like to reuse the heat generated by the server, for example to heat a grow room, or simply my house. How much heat does a server produce, and where would you consider it best applied? Has anyone built such a thing?

    That was LTT https://youtu.be/wjO6OLmZB9A He admits that its a dumb idea on the wan show later so take that as you will. While i havent read the other comments yet, i bet at least a couple have recommended heatpumps. They are the best solution here.

    But if you want to have some fun, grab a large pump and water cool the server, make sure all your water cooling connections can withstand the pressure your giving them and then run the cooling tubes out to your green house.
