    I'm just wondering what are those weird looking things on the floor of the IT center? They look like some kind of air conditioning units and have some sort of cord coming out of the side but I dare not go near them.


    Anyone have any ideas? :o

    Damn it!
    I was thinking the same thing today.

    They are hemispherical grates with white wires coming out of them

    My first theory was that they were some locking mechanism for the desktops, but they are placed fairly randomly, to the point where you could trip over them

    Ill try and take a pic tomorrow because this is really bugging me

    They are part of the air conditioning. They release air when it becomes too warm. The wires are to monitor the temperature.
    It's great because it used to be always warm are stuffy in the I.T centre.

    Cheers for that
    I wasn't sure about it but after some searching they look about right. They already have some underfloor conditioning by the windows but its obviously not enough
    Still though, I don't understand why they couldn't get flat ones, I know im nitpicking but I think they are really badly placed and some ones bound to fall on their arse
