Err... Why? Unless you're running some kind of web server at home, why not turn it off when you're not using it?

Another trick is to angle the PCs so the fans blow to the side and hang wet laundry on a rack a short distance away. So now it also works as a clothes dryer for the winter.

Fans are probably the biggest reason I went to notebooks, and spend some time optimizing them for low power. Constant noise like that really gets on my nerves. And of course around here I can just hang clothes on the line, since it's rare to get more than two or three wet days in a row.
