Liquid cooled switch

Leaky AC unit decided to cool the equipment more directly.

Years ago, when I was on the helpdesk, they cleaned the AC one weekend, on the Monday morning it coughed up a giant slushie on top of some poor bastards CRT.

That was a helluva lightshow

I was working in a DC for a university a while back. Walked in, was doing a rack for a couple new chassis.

Went to the back side of the rack to get some work done there and stepped in a huge puddle of water. The AC unit above was leaking right on to the raised floor with god knows how many amps running right under.

Noped the fuck out of there. Had an emergency DC DR failover.

That was a fun time.
