Hi Code4Libers,

This is slightly off topic but it seems like one of the best places to ask
because I'm sure other libraries have similar situations where they do not
having a "proper" server room and would have major difficulty or expense
retro-fitting an existing room. I have come across a few airconditioned
racks. I'd describe them as a server refrigerators. One such device is the
Liebert Mini Computer Room (MCR) [1]. BlackBox also makes a similar product
called ClimateCab [2].  Does anyone have any experience with these products
or similar ones? The room I am thinking about getting one of these for
would probably be fine with just a well designed rack with air-cooled
features except that the campus likes to save energy by adjusting the
buildings climate control settings when people are not typically there. I
am thinking something like one of these racks might be a better solution.
