I am split on this issue. On one hand AC is a must in a
server-room. On the other hand USD 5000 for installing AC in a room
that's smaller than the smallest closet at home kinda feel like
overkill. If the unix-guy over here, decides to mount his
sgi-server in a rack and put it in the server, we're definitely
going to need AC. But then, we would also run out of place, so we
would have to move to a different server-room, which maybe already
has AC. See my dilemma?

Never occurred to me to spray wd40 on the hardware... 8-)

I'm allergic to the talk, and get rashes from the non-talk (pvc)
gloves... 8-}
