>the old stuff consumes 90 to 200 watts, heats up easily and noticeably

Even then it's not really great. If your goal with electric power is heating, heat pumps are a much more efficient way to do so.

Sadly where I live it never really gets below 15 degrees C, and is normally around or above 30C for most of the year, so computers heating up my office is a real problem.
