Server as heating device - how do I do this? (slrpnk.net)

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?

Unless you can physically separate the heat from the server.... This is a bad idea. There's a reason servers don't sit in hot humid areas.
