Well, don't think that you can get a Halon system now, it's outdated, and you really don't want it anyway, it's very costly. I don't remember the figures now, it's been 3+ years since we did this, but the cost of putting in the FM200 was ~equivalent to the cost of refilling the Halon tanks once. It's worth checking into, because sprinklers in a server room can pretty much cause just a much damage to equipment as a fire could. Electricity and water don't mix.
