>From: "Sorin Srbu" <sorin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> >Well, the server in question reagularly went up to 70-80 degC (the >cpu) in the summers, so choosing between a watercooled case for >about SEK 3000 (approx USD 300) and installing air-condition in the >server-room (1,5m x 1,5m x 2,5m) for SEK 45000-50000 (approx USD >4500-5000) the choice was really simple. 8-} Maybe that's all your budget can handle but I have to say that no AC for the server room is a bad idea, the greatest single source of wear for electronics is thermal, of course your equipment may be obsolete and need replacement by the time that's a problem. >Arctic Silver!

I had >some stains on my fingers too, after changing a cpu - it took a >week to wear off... Not too hard to get off, use WD-40, works great. If you use that to clean off a component make sure you clean off the WD-40 with alcohol or it will start dissolving anything else you put on there. Another easy solution is to wear surgical gloves when you're working on CPU's, very cheap and easy to clean up.
