This was my idea 2 years ago. Why not connect the cpu heatsink
to the underside of the top of a tower case. Coffee warmer,
hot plate, etc.  Now if you were really ingenious you could have 
liquid lines to heat the water for your coffee go through the
cpu heatsinks to use the heat to make hot water (rgb note: this is not 
a liquid cooling method discussion - I'm talk'n coffee). Then you could
have a program called coffee that would crank up your cpus to just the
right brewing temperature, make the coffee and keep it warm on top of the
case.

Ah but I have given away to much. I am off to patent the 
"one click coffee maker workstation case"
