Subject: Re: Running Computers Cold
Here in the rust belt gas heating is cheaper then electric, but I guess
California could be different.
I still remeber Rusty from Rusty-n-Edies BBS bragging how the 128 nodes of
their BBS were running on 286 machines and they alone kept the house warm in
the cold Ohio winters.
Don't REAL
computers generate their own heat? (and too much of it)
Since moving my servers in, I have never had to use my central heating.
Ever.
Granted, this is "sunny So Cal" but we've been getting below freezing at
night this last week, and the servers are saving money on the gas bill.
