I am in the process of building a house. I designed a room that can accommodate three 24 x 36 inch cabinets or four post racks. I will likely install a APC 2200 watt UPS in the bottom of two of the racks, and the third will be a cross-connect field, patch panels, etc.
The room will have a small, ductless ac unit, maybe a ton or a little more, which should be good for about 3 to 5 kw of load. The house is backed up by a 48 kw genset with an auto transfer switch. The weakness will be only one provider of connectivity. > -----Original Message----- > From: Charles N Wyble [mailto:char...@knownelement.com] > Sent: Friday, August 12, 2011 8:19 PM > To: nanog@nanog.org > Subject: Home computer rooms > > All, > > Related to my thread about home data centers, what are folks using to > store compute gear in? > > Mine sits in two racks in my second bedroom.
