Having problems with heat in your server room?

Okay, so I’m not going to suggest this for the office, but maybe that server room at home is a little warm. Here’s just the thing, Computer Exhaust Systems. I honestly didn’t go looking for this, but now that I found it, I have to admit that it’s kind of cool. (Oh, sorry, no pun intended!) In fact, I can see how it might help in my own server closet. That room gets pretty damn hot in the summer. And, it’s nice and toasty in the winter, too! Personally, I’d probably modify this to connect up to a single wall connection and just splice in any additional PCs, but it’s an interesting idea. At least the heat wouldn’t build up in the room itself. Of course, my wife most likely won’t go for it. If for no other reason that it’s just so goofy!
Anyway, if anyone has seen this work, I’d love to know about it!

  1. Oh, sure, blame it on the wife. *blink* did you even mention this to me?

    20 bucks a server? Is it really only 20 bucks? It’s up to you if you want to crawl around in that little closet and install it, if you really think it will make a difference. This is the best time of year to do that sort of thing anyway!

    You are such a goofball.
