As has been mentioned, 'show environment all' will show you the thresholds the router can cope with. The 2500 series doesn't have environmental monitoring though - I'm not entirely sure about the 3661. In reality though, the cooler a piece of hardware, the longer it'll last. Our machine room is kept between 19 and 20 degrees C - it seems to be the usual standard. Something to keep in mind is the direction air flows through hardware. I've seen a setup with three racks side by side. In the first was a Netcomm modem rack, the second and third being 7206s at the same height. The heat generated in the left most rack by the modems was sucked in the left hand vent of the middle 7200, heated, expelled out the right hand vent only to be sucked in the left hand vent of the second 7200 - not optimal conditions considering the room also had medicore aircon. The ambient temperature was around 25 C, with the second 7200 getting up to exhaust temp of around 55 C (and I believe the shutdown point for 7200s is 60 C).
