Count all of the noise and heat as useful work.

I've also read that encoding videos in handbrake is another good way to raise the room temperature, it's technically 100% efficient because all of the energy given to the CPU, GPU, etc. goes into heat. The exception however, is the fans which also make noise as well as a little bit of heat. An Air Conditioner/Heat Pump will be more "efficient" because they operate by moving heat between two spaces, but you can't play games on an air conditioner (at least not supposed to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPUl0Phg6mg)
