Server as heating device - how do I do this? (self.diy)

So I have this silly idea/longterm project of wanting to run a server on renewables on my farm. And I would like to reuse the heat generated by the server, for example to heat a grow room, or simply my house. How much heat does a server produce, and where would you consider it best applied? Has anyone built such a thing?

Sure the Processors can get hot. But is it enough to heat a room tremendously for your needs? I somehow doubt it.

You would need to retinker the Heat spreader on your cooler.
