However, when you have 3 (4u) full size fans blowing air through the case across the drives, and its sitting right by an air outlet in the datacenter that is always 68deg or less. That is not the problem. Don't mean to be snippy.. But that is rather basic. I HATE poorly ventelated cases and I have lived through dealing with ones that were not. 99% of the time, the drive worked, The CPU or MB crapped out.
