We had an IBM38 in a room barely large enough to fit it. The door was
always closed so it got fairly warm which kept the mice happy. A couple of
fans were installed to take out the warm air but no provision was made to
allow air in.
The clever bit was that there was an opening in the end wall to allow
access to the 8" disk drive. There was a trellis on this wall with ivy
growing up it. The trellis had a hole cut in it.
It was mildly amusing to see people walking up to what appeared to be a
plant and shoving huge floppies into it.
