  1. Exhaust heat from the room by Kent_Franken · · Score: 1 · on Emergency Cooling with Limited Power?

    You could use this. But seriously, if you have rack cabinets, hook up the exhaust fans to suck the hot air from the back of your computers out of the computer room. And, keep the air circulating in the computer room to alleviate hot spots.

    From the FAQ
    Fooling around with the thermostat wasn't going to solve the problem since it would make the rest of the house uncomfortable.
    Hey, ever hear of multi-zone thermostats? Or if you're too cheap for that, window ACs / space heaters? Sounds more like a product for people ignorant of HVAC technologies.

    Just a side observation: I've noticed that most issues people have involving computer(s) and the local environment can be solved with products already on the market. The real issue is how much money they're willing to spend.

  3. Re:I don't get it by jdreed1024 · · Score: 4, Insightful · on Computer Room Hot?
    This idea is "so" lame that I can't help but think we've all been trolled.

    Agreed. This hardly smacks of professionalism. Check out these gems from the FAQ page:

    Won't [the wall] fill up with hot air? They have yet to build a wall that is air tight, anyone who has ever worked in construction will tell you that there are probably 50 different places air flows into your walls.
    They of course don't talk about 50 places where air flows OUT of your walls. Plus, they fail to address the questionable legality (re: building codes) of this "product".
    Won't bugs get into my computer from the wall? Your system fan runs at anywhere from 2500rpm to 4500rpm and is putting out about 35cfm of air. If bugs actually make it to the system fan, the blades will chop them to pieces.. muuuhaaahaaa
    Right.... 'Cause there are no bugs that _walk_ instead of fly, and they certainly couldn't crawl up the tube. Oh, and of course, you'll never turn your computer off ever, so there'll never be a time when the fan might be _off_. And what self respecting company would put "muuuhaaahaaa" in a FAQ.

    Somehow, it got munged in with slashdot's own url.

  6. Correct Link by FosterSJC · · Score: 2 · on Computer Room Hot?

    Here is the correct link: R.A.C.H.A.L..

    Neat picture, though, I don't know whether it will really cool down the room. Won't the heat just build in the wall, and not dissipate as quick because of the lack of air. Then, the walls will be warm and again warm the room. Hmmmmm.

  7. Trying to avoid a /.'ing by johnalex · · Score: 2 · on Computer Room Hot?

    Yeah, that's right, try to avoid Slashdotting www.computerexhaust.com by re-directing the URL to slashdot. As if we're not techy enough to figure it out.
