Oh yeah, that really points to the PS. That many drives will also  
generate a lot of heat, and the DA case just wasn't built to be a file  
server, you need more robust cooling for something like that.

There's a reason our server room sounds like a wind tunnel. I just  
spent a total of about an hour in there today and my ears are still  
ringing.
