Server-room Cooling Estimation?

[Armitage]

Can anybody point me to some resources on this subject?
A group I'm associated with is getting a 16 node dual Athlon cluster, and I want to double-check that the cooling in the room they expect to use is adequate.

Thanks for the links goose.
A little more googling found me this discussion, which is exactly what I'm looking for!

Looks like this cluster will put out about 13.1 KBtu/hr not counting networking equipment, UPS, etc.

edit: oops, boneheaded my calcs the first time! Gotta be a monday.

We have 2 cooling systems in our computer room, that are independent of all other building systems. A good question is do you have enough UPS Power, and how do you plan on backing it up?
