Well I have a problem in my living area with heat and computers. As the
plumbers are to fit a new bathroom, I have asked them to fit all the water
radiators on the central heating with thermostatic valves. I can then get
automatic cut off of boiler heat if the area gets too warm. It is
surprising how much hot air gets vented out of the rear backside of these
computers. I hope to make this little flat (apartment) more fuel efficient
(to keep the subject FUEL on track).
