[ale] Office cooling

[James P. Kinney III]

A window AC unit will lower the humidity. For a room full of computer
equipment, it raises the likelihood of static discharge by someone
touching the cases. 40% humidity will decrease the static risk
substantially. 60% puts the static risk nearly to negligible while not
being uncomfortable.
