Move to the coast and to a place that has a garage that opens to the West. The ocean breeze cools off things nicely. I live a few miles from PCH and I don't have--and rarely need--air conditioning.

Well, if you can put up a make shift physical rack or something to allow better airflow and also make sure you can circulate the air (small fan?) You should be able to keep the appliances at a reasonable temp without having to keep the AC at below freezing I would think. Be sure to keep very clean AC filters.. Do you also have to run everything at the same time? My home lab just consists of an HP AMD tower running VM's very quietly and energy efficient. However, I do miss the benifit of working with physical raid controllers/drives etc... Nothing beats the experience of a physical appliance unit versus emulation. Still, my computer room runs pretty cool and I don't run up the bills. My only compliant is my second tower of an Alienware Aurora is too friggin loud!

Heheh. At my last company, we had a develpment site out in Gualala, CA right by highway 1 along the coast. You could walk to the ocean from the site. However, the salt air made havoc over time to the server/physical components in the exposed server room. I had one server we retired rusted as hell before it was shut down. We moved them to another site and insulated the server area. -Rikku

Reminds me of a customer we had at the CompUSA tech shop. He lived by the ocean, had his computer in a little den with an open window out towards the water. When he brought the machine in for repair, (software issue, incidentally,) we opened the thing up to blow the dust out of it and found crusted-on salt deposits on the motherboard, as well as those long, running rust-stains along every slit in the cooling vents on the case.
