I tested a 1U SuperMicro about 2 years ago. My major complaint about it
was how hot the thing got. Additionally, there really wasn't sufficient
cooling inside, so the case above where the processor sat was almost hot
enough to burn your finger.

I could imagine disasters if you had 3 or 4 of these, one on top of the
other with a hot spot like that.

Have they gotten better in this regard?

Thus spake Craig Zeigler on the 08 day of the 10 month in the year 2003:

Outlook is as attractive to email viruses as a heap of dead and rotting
cows is to a fly. So long as that maggot-filled pile of corpses is there,
swatting at the flies isn't going to work.
