Thanks for the link! I know its possible to convert Heat > Electricity, but this technology sounds like it is going to be a whole lot more efficient - very very good news for solar cells :D If they can get them up to 50% as they claim, that is one heck of a boost... ~21-23% is normal for most uses.

Its going to be interesting in 25 years time looking back at all the current technology :D

Sorry the title was a bit vague, but the idea that the heat from your cpu could be used to power the pc is great! :D
