server rack placement ??

[on31ll]

not sure if this is the correct place if not mods could you please move.

right i am doing some home renovations and have space to fit a small rack under the stairs question is i wanna future proof it so i could place a server or two in there. heres my problem with equipment comes heat and under the floor is very cold my question can i dump the hot air under the floor ? or would it need to be vented under the floor to an outside vent ??

the rack isnt just servers its a central point for everything kinda node 0 ! i could possible rig it up to exhaust the hot air through an air brick but that means piping etc i was just tryin to see if i can take the easy option and just go straight under the floor.

also i dont wanna risk it being in the loft as it can get warm but also any vibrations means no sleep.

sorry for the late reply ive been away on the most boring and crappy course worldwide.

many thanks on31ll

I know exactly what racks are for and their benefits, I build these things for a living. I just question the usefulness in anyones home

i think i came off on the wrong foot or miss understood i was explaining my use. for me its easy and centralised

sorry man
