Our's is set to something lower than it can get too.. there's too much gear
for the A/C...

*sigh* - oh to have a small one... we have upwards of 150 servers in ours,
and it's a *small* room. (comparatively..) plus all of the core network
infrastructure, and an 80kVa UPS.
If our aircon goes out, we shit ourselves. :)
Handy Tip: If your aircon starts leaking, DO NOT touch the liquid. It's an
easy way to get yourself Legionnaire's Disease.

I know that one... Spent 2-3 hours in there last night, moving machines.
( ironically, to make way for more A/C... :/ )
The funny bit, was that a workmate turned up with his polar fleece, in
anticipation of getting chilly... it was a cosy 25 degrees or so..
