Was wondering if anyone had any advice regarding cooling options. I'm looking for internal solutions since the external (i.e. climate control of the room the computers are housed in) won't be remedied until the dead of winter (when it's cheap :p). As it stands now, my computer room is about 230 square feet with the only ventilation being a skylight. The room houses 8 computers (though only 4-5 are fully operational, unless I wanna fall back on GF3 & 4 cards I have laying around :p). So as you can probably imagine, with all the rigs up and running (7 of them are Athlon based systems, one is a Celeron), there is A LOT of heat being generated.
What I wanted to know is folks' personal experiences with fans and such. Assume cost isn't an issue (for computer cooling, it isn't. For the house, heh). What would you recommend or what have you experienced in this area? I'll be replacing my rigs in 2 weeks so I'll try to remedy the situation overall on the new systems while trying to retrofit the old ones.
Any and all feedback appreciated! :)
