Interesting link, but it's not clear what their reason is for this suggestion:
"...On larger systems, you should consider Redundant Array of
Independent Disks (RAID) or mirrored disk units, for better
performance at high altitudes."
Personally I'm happy to have server rooms noisy, cold and dark.
18 degrees C is 'Just Right' imho...

Yep. See IBM's documentation for the iSeries, for example, at:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r1/ic2924/info/phyplan/environ/environ.htm
They even have notes on how to work out the temperature for different altitudes. If
you don't want to check the site, they recommend 18�C to 29�C, with an ideal
temperature of 24�C.
