Our server for our Electronic Learning Facilities along with the CD-rom
towers were housed in an open room. Everything worked fine for several
years, then we begins to have service calls at $2500.00+. The problem
was always dust. We have just completed a climatic control room to house
the ELF equipment and our new Voyager server. We have space for another
system and will be housing a system for the Campus Computer Center. You do
not need a big room, but you will need an engineer to write the specs.
