Oh damn yeah that's a whole different thing. Can easily heat a room with it during winter.

Maybe a really mild winter; it's the same power as when I had my overhead light (2 60W lightbulbs) on in my room as a kid, and that didn't heat my room all on its own.
It's dissipating the same amount of heat as the same CPU with fans. The difference here is the heat is inside it instead of blown out into the air.
With the (mild) winter here I heat my home office room just with my 34.5" display, and it draws 45W ^^; (well, and my body heat)
