[ale] Home Data Server Project

I think someone mentioned earlier in this thread that the attic
is NOT a good place to put a server -- at least not in Atlanta.
Temperatures in a well ventilated attic in the summer will easily
exceed 100F; poorly ventilated ones get much hotter. I wouldn't
trust any modern CPU to be reliable in that hot an environment.
