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.
