Some friends and I want to use my SiteStak (actually you getting served by it right now) for a lot of things (web/mail/ftp/dns/...) so a friend and I kind of tuned it a little. First we replaced the two 2GB disks with a 9GB and a 18GB disk (more memory is also planned). The new and bigger disks (10k rpm) produce much more heat (actually we had a heat related system crash in our test phase) so we decided to put in some more cooling fans. In the end we only needed one.

Now we have 5 fans on the board, two to get fresh air in (disks / cpu) and three for pulling out the hot air. We now have about 35C at the disks and 40C at the cpu.
