That's good to know. I imagine it wouldn't be very comfortable to work in that environment though.

Though I do know that keeping the ambient room temperature around 80 works great in even large scale, high density data centers. In an 140,000 sq/ft data center I worked in there was a time where we kept the temp around 80 and experienced very low failure rates.

I think the catch was that there was equal amounts of pressurization so that we didn't run into problems with dense heat zones. We had an elaborate duct work under the floor that more or less tried to keep air pressure even across the floor. Some areas had less pressure, but it wasn't too terrible.
