Outhouse / Node 0 ventilation

["frankjones2928" <frankjones2928@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hello,

apologies in advance for the length, but the upshot is i need some
advice on ventilation of a small node 0 in an outhouse! please read on...

I'm about to create a new node zero in an outbuilding. I've already
got about 50 runs of cat5 and a dozen coax's going in there from the
house, securely deep underground. Now I need to start building the
guts and make it do something.

What we - me and the builders - are planning on doing is building a
partition wall in the outhouse to section off node 0 from the rest of
the room. this will leave a space for node zero of just over 2m wide,
and 70 cm deep.

there'll be large sliding doors on the wall, made to look like the
back wall. so if anyone breaks in they'll just see a few tools etc and
leave (with the tools no doubt!)

node 0 itself will house the usual collection of pc's, digiboxes,
freeview boxes, racks, network panels, etc etc. they'll be quite a bit
of heat coming out of all the equipment.

the outhouse itself is a 9" solid wall apart from the 2m wide back
wall where node zero will be. this is a single 4.5" wall which goes to
an outside toilet next door (part of the same building, ie, this wall
is really an internal wall). the end wall is 9" as well of course,
with a large wooden door.

i'm worried about ventilation. how hot will it get in the summer,
should i add anything to manually take the heat out? what about the
winter, could it get too cold in there for the equipment? there is a
new roof on the building and it is waterproof.

i'd welcome any advice anyone can offer on this.

many thanks
