We did the same thing as you want to do except we put our servers in the attic. We had the same concerns: dust, moisture, bugs, etc.
I bought a 12U rack, added two rack-mount batteries, a 48 port switch, and 3 Dell R510s with 24TB each. I built a wooden enclosure around the rack with plexiglass windows on the front and rear and detachable covers with draw-bolt latches so we could service the servers. I bought a hydroponic blower from eBay and some ducting from Lowes. The blower sucks 70 degree dry air from the house and forces it through the front of the 12U rack. During the summer, the exhaust is vented to the attic. During the winter, the exhaust side is ported back into the home to help heat the house.
Everything has been running squeaky clean for 2 years without issue.
Here is all of slashdot translated into "unproper english". Makes me laugh. LOL!

Ummm, yes. First of all, learn to pickup and read a dictionary.
Exclude defined: remove from consideration; rule out. Example: "computer software is excluded from the mandatory 15-year write-off"
Clearly black participants were removed from consideration. They were not included, and therefore they were excluded by definition. Your entire response is irrational. You clearly don't get the point.
I didn't "dismiss" the article; I read the whole thing and commented on it.
If you don't see anywhere they claim that whites are racist then you're illiterate. Racism consists of both prejudice and discrimination, and the article is FILLED from top to bottom of examples where white people exhibit both prejudice and discrimination toward black people.
Being of the same ethnicity as the helper makes the victim appear more similar, and people act more favorably toward people perceived as similar to them; furthermore, it makes the helper feel a member of the same (ethnic) group as the victim, and members of the same group are treated more favorably than non-members.
They ONLY included Italian and White participants in the study, and they excluded black participants and all other cultures/nationalities. The results of the study were obvious before the study even began. Had they shown the results of black participants, I'm quite sure it would have shown that black people can be just as racists as white/italian people can be. But they didn't include any black participants, and since they were aware of the correlation, they obviously wanted to demonstrate a particular outcome. This was clearly a "black vs white" study. If it wasn't, then black participants would have been included.
Being of the same ethnicity as the helper makes the victim appear more similar, and people act more favorably toward people perceived as similar to them; furthermore, it makes the helper feel a member of the same (ethnic) group as the victim, and members of the same group are treated more favorably than non-members.
Any person with half a brain would ensure that the participant pool included members from all cultural backgrounds. But that wasn't the case:
The participants were Italian and white.
.
So they tested racial bias for white helping blacks, but they did not test for bias when blacks had to assist whites even though they KNEW there was a strong correlation in willingness to assist when similar cultural backgrounds are involved. Then, they take the test results (which were obvious before the study even began) and ran to the internet with cries of racism amongst Italian and white people. Ridiculous...
In less than a day it has gone from scandal to basically resolved
LMFAO!!! Not even close. Its only been less than a day SINCE YOU HEARD ABOUT IT. They've been in the media for installing Superfish for the last 5 years. It just finally hit mainstream media, and they resolved it in less than a day since it blew up in their faces.
