Hello beowulf mailing list, How much harm does removing the computer case do? I know computer cases are designed for the air flow, and without them I was wondering if there will be heating problems. My air conditioner will be enough for the amount of heat generated, but will I need circulation fans in the room also? I created a test cluster of 8 nodes, removing all the cases and mounting everything onto a wire rack. It works fine with no heat problems. But I am concerned that once I build the entire 100 node cluster there will be problems. The book I am reading on HPC does not go into that detail. I was thinking an air purifier that is always on will slowly circulate the air when the air conditioner is off. I just don't have enough room to build this with the computers still in cases. Robert
