Where are those numbers from?

I have the "server" and several other PCs in the littlest bedroom
here and
it's usually 30 degrees or more in there all year round unless I have the
air con on. At least it's been better this year without the 4 x 19"
CRTs!

Well, given that I usually turn off spindown on the drives then all the
drives are usually spinning all the time as it can take quite a long time
to
spin up 26 drives in sequence. ;-)
