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.
