That said, it is still probably the correct place to put my observation (unless original author comes around to post it too ...): At one point I sat for months in a radio room, next to a really noise rack. Temperature was often 30 degrees C. The reason I sat there was because the sound of the fans were much easier to block out than people (without support contracts : ) popping in to ask questions while I where supposed to help people who had support contracts.
