[SML] Dimming Cooling

[Stephen Rees]

Similar situation in Fredonia where all the racks for two theaters worth of
ETC racks - about 400 dimmers got a whole room to themselves with
standalone AC and sound deadening.  The IT folks liked it so much that they
put  much of their gear in there as well.  Very cool solution. Pun intended.
