> His office was nicknamed the Hot Tub on account of the heat they generated. Most days his stack of window air conditioners could keep up.
I ran the servers for a whole company like that, everyday thinking that's totally unprofessional but it is effective.
After we went to our own raised floor cold room, I still never felt it was that much more reliable. Cleaner, more polished yes. But 80% of the effect for 20% of cost is usually a good deal.
Fitting out your server room from the local hardware store felt like a successful hack.
