So far, I've found most enviroments to be between 65-70F typically at
40% humidity.  The tempature tends to be closer to 70 in datacenters
where people have to work on systems/equipment a lot.  In regards to the
humidity, anything above 40% will permit nasty things like black mold to
start growing.

rooms.

What is the ideal temperature and humidity for a server room?
What is too cold for a server room?
What should the humidity range be?

Thanks
