That's why I use a Stirling cycle generator with the waste heat off the CPU.
Much quieter, closed loop, nearly 100% recovery with 'make up' juice off two
6v lantern batteries a year kept charged with solar panels embedded into my
driveway.

It cost a fortune to put in, but it's been a free ride ever since!
