	The AGS fan is a wonder.  It has the airflow to cool a large
machine room.  We use a spare AGS chassis and a long extension cord as
a leaf blower in the fall.  It has saved us spending $600 on a
dedicated leaf-blower.

	Be careful not to place any loose papers near an AGS chassis.
The AGS has a hell of a pull and thin papers can get sucked in and
shredded.  But it is not a good general purpose shredder; it won't
handle more than three sheets at a time.  The AGS is also an
acceptable background noise generator, but it could be better if the
fan noise was a little "whiter".

	I expect your AGS was cooling the entire closet and the CGS
just can't do that.  This is why an AGS is worth the extra ~$6k cisco
charges.
