Thats what we thought :) Our air con setup is not good. I was curious to see what other people are getting. Can you say where that temperature is taken too?

There have been a few studys recently (one of my hosting team has been harping on about them)which have shown that as long as the humidity is low that computer rooms into the 40-50 mark are viable with little if any reduction in the life of the hardware. Obviously not nice to work in or near but gives a different twist on what the rooms can support. Also it appears that hard drives have an extended life in a warmer temperature...

Do you have any links to the study findings?
