I've been thinking the ambient outside air here in Utah might be
enough to keep my compute nodes working (maybe not happy, but
working).
The way I see it, even at 100F ambient temperatures in a nasty worst-
case scenario, I have a good chance of keeping the systems under 165F
at the CPU dies if I get good airflow into the nodes.
If 100F is too high, maybe a bit of tightly-controlled evaporative
cooling (to 80% RH) would pick up the slack?
