I was a bit like that a few months ago. 3 computers running that used up to 1.5kW while doing distributed computing, until I realised having the 3rd computer made things difficult
But remember, computer parts (except for parts that move, such as HDDs, fans etc) are designed to run at 100% load. I've found hardware is more likely to break when it's not doing anything than doing something (and so have thousands more people who do distributed computing).
