You should be delighted.

You convert a gas powered refrigerator to run off the waste heat from your GPUs.

...you cannot remember the last time you slept without having some fans hissing in the distance.

For stronger addictions:
...you cannot remember the last time without having some fans hissing around you.

You have a hard time sleeping while away on vacation because there is no sound of the fans to lull you to sleep.

You take your computers on vacation with you partly to help you sleep, but mainly to make sure they keep crunching.

Vacation?
And isn't that what SSH, remote desktop, and VPN are for?

If you save up more for extra computers than for food.

"extra computers" is an oxymoron. There's such a thing as spare parts, cold spares, or computers uneconomic to operate except in the heating season, but "extra"? What's that? I can only wear one pair of shoes, but many systems can be run in parallel, subject to limits on power delivery and heat rejection and total budget.

One might be addicted if contemplating an HVAC upgrade to raise the heat rejection limit...

You are using a Stirling cycle in your GPU's cooling system loop.
