Many repeater locations are very dirty. Running fans when there is 
nothing to cool just circulates the dust and dirt and deposits more of 
it inside your equipment.  Many folks haven't re-discovered the 
pressurized cabinet principle that we used to use all the time. Bring 
air in through a filter and pressurize the cabinet so filtered air exits 
through all the cracks. Minimum dust collects on the equipment and air 
exhausting the equipment through all the cracks helps keep it out. Just 
the opposite is true of the so called "modern day" computers.  Nothing 
like pulling unfiltered air in through every opening including disk 
drives etc!
