    The heat in setups like that is usually taken care of by an air conditioning system designed for and dedicated to the room, afaik. I've read about how they do it but don't remember where I saw it. Maybe on one of the old nVidia tours that used to get posted occasionally?

    1U servers like those are designed to eject all heat out the back, and then usually a series of venting fans at the top of each cage pull all the hot air up and out. The rooms are heavily climate and humidity controlled. Heat is never an issue in a datacenter.

    The PS2's were apparently being imported by Saddam to build a nuclear weapons simulation cluster. At least that's according to some online journal .... they apparently did begin to track all PS2 shipments (there's another link about that I can't find) and made extra sure they weren't getting into Iraq. Linkage:
