Once Upon A Time I had a "computer room" with (8) SGI 4D/320GT's, (2) 4D/380S's, (1) 4D/340S, a 50kva Leibert 3-phase UPS, and an A/C that was a bit over sized. Consoles and keyboards for the GT's were on 50' to 150' extensions in another room. Room was so loud with so much air moving thru it that I kept a stocking cap and shooter's earmuffs in my office. People knew where I was going when I was wearing my protective gear. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
