Re: my scsi disks run hot!

Hi,

I live in Guyana, so with taxes and stuff, fans can end up costing twice as
much as
the retail price in the US.

If price is a factor, and you're like me and hate to waste stuff... try what I
ended up doing to solve my heating problems for drives...

I got a hold of several old worn out power supplies, and removed the cooling
fans..

I then moved my drives appropriately and attached the fans to them so that
cool air flows around them...

Hope this helps...

Ahbaid.
