 Well.. Gee who woulda thought?
  However, when you have 3 (4u) full size fans blowing air through the case
across the drives, and its sitting right by an air outlet in the datacenter
that is always 68deg or less. That is not the problem.

 Don't mean to be snippy.. But that is rather basic. I HATE poorly
ventelated
cases and I have lived through dealing with ones that were not. 99% of the
time, the drive worked, The CPU or MB crapped out.
