Any other useful/useless tips?

10. If you like the cold, and your spouse likes the heat, get an air

conditioner at at yard sale for $10.00 -- direct the output into your computer room, and the butt end into the other part of the house. The condenser coils generate heat while they're cooling your room and computers! Note, however, that you should probably have something under the A/C to collect the condensation.
