Tom, I believe the temperature he is describing is of the chip not the room. The room can be 75F and the chip can be 300F if the fans aren't working properly in the rack unit. He should get into one of his IT boards and ask his buds how many of them have had accidental discharges from the sprinklers in their server rooms...or ask his insurance carrrier... or the local fire department. Any of them should be able to let him know that accidental discharges happen in movies. He's not in movies, is he? Are you assuming extra liability by installing a high temperature head in a closet ?
