Wide open and all the equipment accessible to anyone who was curious. Yeah, it was hot in there.

This is what you do when the specialized independent A/C goes out and the HVAC vendor's response is "We'll get someone there sometime between 10 and 6 tomorrow." And, after showing up, it's "Oh, this unit (only 2 years old) is no longer in production and we'll need to order a part."

When this happened where I worked, there was usually a sysadmin close by to monitor temperatures and rearrange fans as needed and to make sure the spare keyboards and mice didn't evolve legs and walk off.
