Would have 'thirded' (I think I must made that up) but 2 people in the same day mentioned that it would be beneficial to have air con in my room. So fingers crossedCurrently a tiny desk fan placed next to the open window to try and suck some fresh air in.

I have air-con, which is currently switched off as there is a nice breeze wafting through my office at the momnet.

A nice walk outside then the kids are in lesson lol
Pretty much the same as Russ - used to have a seperate server room, but we're losing itI'm now making the case that the excessive heat means that the servers are at risk of failing

My office is a cupboard so it dont really affect me lol as any amount of wind sweeps through the room like a wind tunnel.
Tis good for my babys (servers) tho- probably why they are lasting so long lol
Bloody froze when its not hot tho![]()

I have two rooms *swaggers* LOL - the server room and my office next door which is going to have a hole through the wall for the monitor cable from the kvm. I'm vnc'ing on it all at the mo' coz' I had to make it look like I worked here [no smartass comments pls!] so the refurb would be free

My current server room is an unused lift shart. Temp was hitting 40-odd degrees today! I've had to keep turning a portable air-con unit on in there and blowing the hot air out of the door (not efficient and not secure).
My office is nice and cool though - North facing wall with an opening window!
Anyway, the server room will be moving as part of the huge summer project.
