Planning a rig for home heating

In a few months I'm going to move into a new flat which has no gas supply. All the heating is done with electric radiators on the walls.

In my view it is a shame to use electricity to produce heat without first using it to do something useful - like F@H.

I already use my desktop to heat my room in the winter (got no radiators in that room) but I'm thinking that in this new flat I should go all out and aim to heat the entire place during the winter only on folding.

Ideally I think I'd have maybe 1 or 2 rigs which would run 24/7 and could be accessed remotely to start/stop the folding. Even better would be to hook them up to a thermostat somehow and have them work harder as it gets colder.

Anyone else tried to do anything like this? I wonder if 2nd hand PS3s might be the cheapest way to do it. I'm not too keen on splashing loads and loads of money on the hardware at the outset.
 
That's probably a really good idea. Thanks :) I have no idea how to get started though. Is there a guide somewhere?

And how do you turn the bitcoins into actual money?
