My advice would be to create a barrier using plastic sheeting around the rack and duct outside air at the bottom of the rack and hot air at the top of the rack directed to the outside. I design data centers for a living and that's the most cost effective way to cool any IT equipment.

lol. That's probably close to the price it's worth from what I have heard.

Get Wolfenstein for $40 dollars for the 360 or PS3 or $30 for the PC. And the Gold Box has Video games titles today starting with Ghostbusters http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox

Datacenters are running hotter. ASHRAE continues to raise it's operating temperature guidelines for DC's about every time they issue a new TC 9.9 spec. I am pushing my DC up to 75 F and the exhaust temp of my equipment is no higher than 88 F. What datacenters need to do (and most new designs...

Roughly $1600. Not cheap but a ton of room. I mount two Eaton monitored PDU's and run enough ethernet to populate a cisco 9500 MDS.

Blackbox makes a cheap (but good quality) 22U 4 post rack.

I really like Ortronics patch panels as well as Panduit.

I used to use Sever Tech but now I really like Eaton. They make an excellent three phase monitored PDU.

I would use a rack if you are on a budget or an enclosure if you want protection from tampering and contaminants. I would look at this company.

I use this cabinet. It's wide enough for cable management from front to back and deep enough for servers.
