I've had my lab up and running for about 4 years now and it has continued to expand over time. I have kept it in my office so I've always kept things as quiet as possible. As I continue to expand I have come to the conclusion that I need to stop worrying about the noise. But I still need my office to be functional. So what should I do? Build a data center in my garage of course!
I have a separate third car garage that currently acts as a giant mess resembling storage. The garage has a 10 foot ceiling so my thought is to add two 8 foot walls and a nice ceiling/shelf on top. This lets me keep a ton of storage on top but still have room for my rack and air conditioner.
Here's the current lab specs:
The Lab - Hyperion EPM
Here's what it will look like on paper:
The only question I have is around the air conditioner. Can I just send warm air out the existing no longer used doggy door, but have no air in from anywhere else? I feel like I that might cause some issues...
I'd love to hear everyone's feedback on my plan before I head to Home Depot for supplies.
