We do have sprinklers in our lab (building code). I use large overhead
shelves suspended from the ceiling over all my rigs to hold lower priority
equipment like computers. The shelves are two layered so a second higher
shelf which is mostly empty covers the computers. If it 'rains' in the lab
the shelves should deflect the bulk of the water away from the most
critical components. The other thing we have is good insurance.
