Planning and Managing a Macintosh Datacenter

Climate.

Computers like it clean and cold.

No Dust - No Bunnies.

No Carpet.

Limit the room to a single function.
Best case. Realistically you can share functions (workbench, techno-crap storage, etc.)

Assure good HVAC and ventilation.
Fans are OK, but an AC is better.
If you are using more than 200sq' of floor space, get a dedicated HVAC unit.

Keep It Clean!
If you must share space with a workbench, separate them physically.
Organize the space and limit clutter.

The janitor is *you.*
