I can assure you that the room gets hot after it has been run= ning=20 > for a couple of hours! :-) True. My old puter, AMD 2500+ with 3GBs of memory, pulled at least double if not more than my current 4 core AMD with 16GBs of ram. I'm not sure this new one has anything "green" on it but it is less power hungry. My old also helped heat my old room. It had to be pretty cold outside for me to turn the heat on. My dryer tho, it's about 25 years old. I think it pulls around 4500 watts normally. Considering I have retired the heating element at least 5 or 6 times, it may pull a little more than that now. I might add, it takes longer to dry clothes tho. I fear the day I can't tie that element back together. I doubt I will ever find a element for that old thing. I may have to get some new line for my old fashioned clothes dryer. You know, two trees with a wire between them. A tree limb broke my old one.=20 Dale :-) :-)=20
