Visiting the high-security main data center in Halsell was a diverting way to spend a class period. An odd sensation too-- while my feet were cold, my head was hot! Actually, the room is cooled through air conditioning vents in the floor. When it comes out of the vents, the air is 55-60 degrees, but by the time it reaches the ceiling, it has been heated to about 70-80 degrees by all the machines, and can even reach 105 degrees in the corners of the room! You can see from diagram (above & left) how Trinity's internet works. It has been compared to a wagon wheel, and is actually pretty interesting. Take a look.
