hi ,

i think its a silly question , but i decided to go for it.

i shall be buying 3 servers in next few weeks for setup a small webfarm at my home.

i am told by different people who work in server rooms , that i should keep my servers in a Air Conditioned room. which is really expensive.because temperature in south asia is b/w 10--50(Centigrade).

here comes the funny part, i have an extra fridge in my home , why shouldn't i put the servers inside that fridge. here are benefits listed

  1. i dont have 2 buy the air Conditioner
  2. i dont have to buy the rack mount for the servers
  3. the electricity consumed by the fridge in much much lessor as compared to an AC

be free to give your suggestions :)

thanks Jamal.
