I also have one of my clients in the same closet (No, I'm not forced to work in the closet myself... yet!) and the temperature inside the closet when both computers are running goes up to 42(c) 108(f) degrees, which I think is a bit too much. The server has a lot of harddisks and I don't use them all every day, one is for example only for pictures, and is accessed perhaps a few minutes a day. [QUESTION(s)] Can a harddisk be set in hibernate/low-power state when used under FreeBSD 5.0? Any other ideas about heat etc?
