I've have a home based business and 6 years ago I installed both of our servers and all but one of our desktops (6) in the basement.
After all this time I can tell you that the heat generated by those electronics has easily conteracted the electricity needed to run them.
The only time I have to turn up the heat on the lower floor is when the temperature outside dips to below -20?? C. (I live in Montreal, Canada).
I could easily see this concept working for appartment building, office towers and even private homes in colder climates by alternating the use from northern to southern hemisphere with the seasons (even Floridians could use the system to bring up their house temperature to their prefered 72?? in what they call winter... lol).
