...a rack of servers humming away under the stairs.
Well, maybe humming isn't the right word. Screaming like banshees is probably more accurate, but what the 54.4 dB fans lack in quietness, they more than make up for in cooling power; the server loaded with three hard drives is showing them at a relatively chilly 87°F, compared to the desktop machine whose single hard drive (in a heatsink sleeve with a fan) is sweltering at 102°F.
