With electricity being cheaper then gas, having an Intel powered space heater that doubles as a gaming PC is more cost effective to heat my gaming room.

I like to do my video transcoding on cold winter days. That keeps it nice and warm under my desk.
I mean i dont know where you live, but the power bills are just getting higher and higher. Because of missmanaged energy grid of my country.
With solar is it cheaper.
Should get some batteries though...
I dont know from where you get all those cheap solar panels. On my house roof there is for 8 solar panels place and to get even with initial costs it would need to be 100% efficient for straight 5 years.
Australia. Kinda cheating in the solar arena.
