Well in my experience a 3/140 works admirably as a room heater, its just 
the right shape and generates enough heat to keep things cosy in Winter.

Unfortunately it's just past Summer here in Australia and its 35 degrees 
celsius (95 F) outside today and considerable hotter in my room with 
the 3/140 and a couple of 9000/300s, not to mention the heat from a 
couple of monitors and a pair of Intel type systems.

Isn't it odd though how the HPs and the Suns never miss a beat, but one 
of the PCs won't boot due to overheating. :-)
