    Need some advice on new server room

    I've just read this thread and sounds like complete guff....30 odd servers on a tin pot installation.....no UPS and no back up gen......The 600W load of each server resembles the load of a commonly used light used for cultivation.......If I were a betting man I would bet it's a ganja factory...
