Those black boxes you plug in to power your appliances all provide constant mild heat, most of them anyway, phone chargers excepted I would think, they get hot. The ones that keep a fairly constant heat can be plugged into powerboards and placed where heat is needed, plug more here or less there and get the right temp for free! To me it's a duh moment, I didn't realise that it was the powerboard providing the ambient heat in my corner!I do worry about magnetic fields though.</blockquote>
