Well, for starters, there are no *windows* in the warehouse in which to mount a window unit, no are there any other means of exhausting the hot air from the "other" side of the AC unit. Wouldn't do much good to blast it back into the room, now, would it? We're not about to knock out concrete block for a temporary air conditioner. We have the exhaust vents that are there propped open and keep the outside doors open during cooler weather; during the worst part of the afternoon, it gets pretty warm in there, but otherwise it's not like we're in the middle of the Sahara. And, yes, the fan is blowing right to left across the Maxen, to aid the factory fans. Trying to suck air out of the Maxen without a seal would be pretty stupid. If you've spent much time in the *real* world of computers and the people who own them, especially those without the lavish budgets of major corporations, it's warm but not dangerously so. I've worked on IBM mainframes whose internal temps usually hovered not far below their 135 degree thermal protectors. A little uncomfortable, maybe; nobody does it willingly -- but if it's hot equipment or no customers, you run hot equipment until you can get it into a cooler location. Which is what we're doing. Construction, remember? New computer room. But I don't think my customers want to go without their email and dirty pictures until the drywall is done and the floor is in.
