Re: keeping node 0 cool (and quiet!)

hi andy

yep, those were my thoughts on the fans - i think ducting is the best
answer. as far as routing from outside then it is a possibility, but to
cut
the hole means taking everything out because of the dust. also, i am
not
convinced that the outside air will always be cooler (well not on a day
like
this anyway!)

cheers
david
