Well, all very interesting. We seem to be fumbling toward a consensus.
But we've also uncovered a gaping hole in my question: What does "water-cooled" even mean? In this context, *I* think it means "any water cooling", but others may quite reasonably differ. Which reminds me: can anyone definitively validate a story I once heard, that some company had an employee swimming pool whose contents could be routed (presumably via diesel-powered pumps?) to the machine room to allow some runtime if they lost the chillers? I always liked that story, visualizing someone blowing a whistle and yelling "Out of the pool, we have a data center to cool!" .phsiii ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
