Hi,

Where I live the room temperature often gets over 100 in the summer. I'm sure that the computer gets even hotter, and I have had no problems at all.
I think you would be 'safe' if you turned the thermostat up a bit.

This sounds like an issue for your local plumbing & heating people. Computers definately prefer a cooler environment, however your students are of course important also.
Not knowing how the heating/cooling system is set up in your building, it is difficult to land on the easy fix. If the classroom in question is zoned separately and has it's own thermmostat, it would be appropriate to turn it up a bit. A temperature of 70 degrees is not going to damage any computers, and it would present a more comfortable environment for the students.

Yes, it has it's own thermostat, controlled by the teacher and no one else is pursuing this issue.....I
suppose no one wants to step on the teacher's toes
over this issue! Thanks for your opinion.
