Home Server Rooms?

Tuzanor writes "I've got a buddy moving into a brand new house. Being geeks, we've decided to wire the house with a large home network. While this story took care of wiring the house, we need to figure out how to create a well set up server room. We'll be having both towers and rack mounted computers as well as various switches, UPSes, etc. Also, we figure this room will get warm, even in winter. How may we cool it while still keeping the rest of the house toasty warm on a cold Canadian night (without opening a window)"

    Even better, put it in the bathroom, put your servers in the shower and just run water on them. Having them in that bathroom makes it easier to surf for pr0n while on the hopper.

    Based upon what you just wrote in your comment, I don't think that you are capable of having a girlfriend.

    No, it's true, I swear it, she's real! Geezer I've just turned thirty; after >10 years of hell, I find this woman who says things like "Really? That's very interesting. Will you teach me how to make web pages? Perhaps I could learn how to program one day." after listening politely to me giving the wrong (ie pedantically accurate) answer to `So, what did you do today?'.

    The flipside is that I have to learn to speak her language - which is Serbo-Croat ;)
