A good disk enclosure with > powerful fans (ours have three) really works wonders for heat > problems. I added six more fans to freefall earlier this year, and moved a lot of stuff around to deal with heat problems. It's just in a conventional tower case though. Just before hub died, I installed some serious cooling in both it (now lost with the new system) and bento. The latter is now producing a breeze that is reminiscent of a hairdryer on 'low'. We're looking at moving (as funding permits) to using the Siliconrax SR-489-ATX cases, which will give us greatly improved airflow both over the drives and also the motherboard (which is what appears to have failed in hub last time). -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
