We shut them all down accordingly, but MAN did it get hot in there.

I'm glad you like em :)

About two months ago, here at the office, the transformer went outside the building. So we had no power for most of the day. The server kept running, but there was no A/C, and justlike any other company, they throw all the stuff in basically a closet. So it just kept getting hotter, and no one thought about it. Than when the power came back, the network didn't work and no one knew why. They ended up stealing someones PC, swapping a few parts and plugged it in as a temporary replacement for part of the network. They couldn't figure it out. I just kept laughing... it was so obvious what had happened.

Took them forever to get the network back up to normal too. *sigh* good times
