I'm doing it right now, and when I'm not gaming I use F@H to generate heat.

I've built 3 PC's, but none for myself... In fact, I'm using an iMac that my dad bought for me as my desktop. Awkward...

Please don't say "SSD drive." By doing so, you are literally saying "Solid State Drive Drive" and causing my brain cells to commit suicide. The same applies to HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express).

I use the winter to cool my pc, windows open for a reason!

well, actually PC's appear to be somewhat more efficient and cheaper compared to traditional space heaters, not sur though on that, just heard/read rumours but no factual information (yet)

May the light have your back and your ISO low.

I've got an AMD CPU, and its also overclocked. You can imagine how warm my room gets.

Space heaters usually draw at least a couple thousand watts. So my R9 290 and Core i5-3450 aren't really going to produce much heat.

Compared to an electrical space heater there is literally no difference. It's just that you get some use out of the electrical power when it's running a PC, but it all ends up as heat either way.

 

Heat pumps etc. are more efficient though.

I have to many fans for that. My case is built for optimal air flow. Infact its colder in my room than outside it because of all the extra air blown out and sucked in. Then again I dont need a heater for winter :)

Having more fans does not make your system generate less heat. If anything it generates a little more.

Well my computer generates low heat anyway so its just blowing around cold air.

£10/$10 says OP is using an AMD GPU, CPU or both. /s

 

Joking aside, it doesn't tend to be my 'heater' unless I want it to, it's more aimed towards keeping ambient temps decent without sacrificing a chunk of performance. My monitor is my heater... I'm only joking a bit there, it kicks off a load of heat when it's at 144hz.
