Yes Matt. I had 3 of them atop each other, and although they are a bit
loud, there was no cooling problems. The systems were 1GHz P3s. My only
complain was the noise, but since its a server, and they live in a
rack.. who cares.

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?
