The air in the whole room was quite warm.
The air comming from that PC was hot.

When I goubht that PC, I was worried it would overheat itself if I run those
tests for several days. That's why I run it with open case and away from all
the other PCs. Since everything has worked fine for over a month, I stopped
worrying about overheating and moved the PC close to that client PC's tower,
almost closing it's one side with warm neighbour boxes. I guess, that Server
PC took it well for a few days, but then it wasn't able to handle it anymore
and gave up.

We have -5C outside :)

With window closed, after getting inside that room and sitting for a couple
mins in front of the Admin PC, I started to think I'm on a beach and it's
35C outside. It never occured to me that those PCs could not like this as
much as I did :o)

I've now left the Window open (/) through the night (it's still open) to get
more cool air inside. Room heating is turned off (as it was before), but
room temperature is comfortable enough for someone to sit there and work in
a swimming suit (quite warmer than my Dining Room, where heating is ON and
we have a constant 21C temp).
