OK, I know some of you have done this -- Henk with his

Looking more closely into the power and other environmental
requirements for my Onyx2 and other rack SGI systems, it seems prudent
that I shouldn't attempt having these systems up and running without
the appropriate environment.
Fortunately the electrical isn't too bad -- 220 VAC, single phase.
Its more the cooling and ducting part that has me wondering. At the
moment, I'm not concerned with creating a building. I'm wondering
more about what would it take to build a "machine room" inside an
existing structure. Naturally, we're talking about building this on a
"collector" budget and not what you would do if money were no object.
Not a bad idea.
Assume you have something like a warehouse with a
concrete floor but
no warehouse-wide cooling situation. Is it feasible to build a small
climate controlled room inside this larger structure? Where do you
get the necessary A/C equipment for such a thing?
I've gotten that sort of stuff on ebay. Just keep an eye on the
"Liebert" searches.
