I once attached an external "box" made out of carboard, onto which I
screwed two case fans.  It kept the case cool, bus was impractical.  It
pulled air out through the vents on the left side of the SS5, near the
SCA bus.

I just need to refine the idea I suppose.

Alternately, find a fan that will suck air out of there and exit
from the inside.

Just not sure how to do it.

I plan to keep both my SS5's in service.

One of the memory modules in the main server died 2 months ago, and I've
wondered if it was heat releated.

Did you just get that drive because it was cheap?

The SS10/20/5 systems can't even use all of a fast 5400 rpm drive most
of the time.

I got 3 18GB 7200rpm drives, brand new, for $30 each the other day.  I
couldn't find any slow and cool running ones.
