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
- i dont have 2 buy the air Conditioner
- i dont have to buy the rack mount for the servers
- the electricity consumed by the fridge in much much lessor as compared to an AC
be free to give your suggestions :)
thanks Jamal.
