Hmmm I need one in my appartment... the heat sucks... Basically the lady
in the first floor controls the heat and has to crank it up and open
windows for me to get past 65 degrees in the dead of winter... I hope my
landlady properly adjusts the new furnace soon.  Half my registers are
dead.  I could almost justify my extra power bill in computers esp.
hooking up a separate 20 A receptacle and the Crimson just for heat
generation alone.

I can see it now...
my other heater is a SGI Crimson running SETI at HOME
