Arizona gets pretty hot. The garage has no cooling (or insulation, sadly), so it's been getting up to 110+ degrees, with sub 10% humidity.
Have built a home made swamp cooler to address this, so that the garage will be cool enough to run servers.
Have put 6x noctua fans blowing out of the garage's upper ventilation vent (the pressure causes an equal amount of air comes in the lower vent). This will exhaust the wet air and bring in more dry air, so that the swamp cooler doesn't bring the humidity ridiculously high and stop working altogether.
Wanted to have a float valve for automatic refilling, but was having trouble with that, and don't have a faucet in the garage anyway, so decided to go with a 38 gallon ice chest instead. Can go through as much as a gallon an hour so a 5 gallon bucket wasn't cutting it.
Pictures coming shortly....
