I have an old pdp-8 rack (I didn't get the actual computer, just the
rack, but it does still have the DEC faceplate), and the room is cooled
by the regular central A/C. I've considered dedicated A/C for this room
(just a small spare bedroom really), but I haven't found anything that
is economical and quiet.
