Re: [tlug] Air Con

["Walter Hansen" <gandalf@example.com>]

I'd make sure that there are case fans on the hard drives themselves and
then setup a fan or two to ensure the systems have good air circulation.
In other words you want the heat to go outside of the case and then you
want the heat to go away from the case.

There are little fans that sit on the hard drives and there are little
fans that mount on the 5.25 drive bay openings. You can even get fans that
mount In card slots and remove heat from the system in general. I like
case designs with fans blowing accross the hard drives to keep them nice
and cool. SATA drives run very hot in my experience, so I always make sure
they've 1) got some space arround them and 2) have some sort of forced air
flow.
