[nflug] Server room A/C

[anthonyriga]

I think the retun duck is in the front and the ac is
the middle. I have noticed the room sometimes was
spotty with AC before. Some areas didnt even feel like
the AC was on. Thanks for the hlp. I think they are
just gonna buy a bigger A/C for it at this point.
