Yea, I guess so.  I have forgot to leave my A/C on and it get pretty
warm in here.  All the fans are blasting but it was still running.  Of
course, my little single CPU system running folding is probably not that
big of a deal.

What may also be a good idea is to have some way to shut the systems
down when they get to hot or if the A/C fails.  I would think a
temperature sensor would be better myself.  I !think! gkrellm can do
that.  I'm sure there is a way to do it automatically tho.  After all,
you can't monitor temps 24/7 but the system can.
