Re: [misterhouse-users] recommendation for small quiet hardware for the MH server?

[Jason S. <ja...@sh...>]

Is it possible to locate the computer in a closet / basement?  I have my 
entire MH server & interfaces, A/V, networking equipment in my storage 
room/attic of my house, where it can make as much noise as it wants.  I 
dont even have a video card in my MH server machine. ;)

The only climate control I have is an A/C unit that kicks in if the room 
gets above 80F.  Otherwise the temperate over the last 6 months has been 
anywhere between 80F-12F, with a perfect uptime of all of my equipment.
