Wouldn't bugs and weather also be a problem if you had a defective building?

  I think this is a defense in depth issue, with large walls to cut down on wind you can use really simple roof over what you want to protect and you end up with a strong defense vs rain, wind, and snow. When the outside is 1 foot from your equipment a 1 in 1000 fault becomes a problem, but you can use two 1 in 50 solutions to end up with better protection if the failures don't cascade. (1/50 * 1/50 = 1/2500.) PS: A friend built some really cheep rooms using plastic and plywood inside an old barn that had large gaps in the walls but an OK roof to protect his record collection on the cheep.
