I have an old P4 which I have been running for serveral years now, Server 2003 OS, providing me with data storage, serving, backup and RDP. Im looking to purchase a DL115 in the hope of running a RAID array, ESX and a few VMS, for both learning and practical purposes.
My question though relates to heat, the only feasable place I can store this kit is in the loft and my worry is that during the heights of summer the hardware (mainly disks) operating temperature would be too high. Im sure a number of you store your kit in the loft, and I was wondering how you find it? Is there anything I can do to improve the cooling on the DL115? Id be happy to run a large external fan if need be.
