Now I just have to convince myself that
Leaving the computer on 24/7 and folding
Gives off more power efficient ($$$) heat than my heater
It won't. It will give the exact same amount of heat than any other electricity powered heater, excluding all energy that gets out as light.
Two main differences to a heater are the fact that the computer is most likely placed in a place where it doesn't heat the whole room as efficiently, as it's not made to do that. Secondly, folding helps some scientists far away while heating up your room.
