Yeah, I mean, if you already have a component which consumes up to 100W, probably the entire box would consume more than 200W, and, well, you'll need a big box with really noisy fans. And it'll consume double the amount they already consume. Am I right? (As I said, not an hardware expert).

Actually, it has nothing to do with hardware but rather physics. It's the law of conservation of energy: "Energy can not be created nor destroyed, only transformed" (or something like that). 

In this case, it means that 100W of electricity = 100W of heat.

Oh, yeah, I know, I've studied engineering so I'm familiar with the Joule's Law and the conservation of energy :P. But I didn't want to come as being really dumb if I screwed up with some technicalities XD.
