It may be time to start thinking about other means of powering &
cooling this equipment.  The current method of big DC cables and
lots of fans may not work for all that much longer.

I have proposed to various router vendors the possibility of giving
them a chilled water feed instead of lots of cool air.  At the
moment they seem to not need it, but I would not be surprized to
find something like this needed at some point.
