       Got the fan grills in which significantly lowers the chances of me putting a finger or cable into one of the rear ventilation fans which totally hasn't happened.#homelab #minirack #fans

       @jamesthebard This is an important thing. I 3D printed my grill but it was too thin and it bent, preventing the fan from spinning, so I printed another, more resistant one and the temperature of my hard drives dropped 10 ºC. Not such a trivial matter as I thought.

       @alejandrobdn I was going to 3D print, but really wanted the silver "old-school" kind of grill.  I noticed that the top MS-A2 was baking, but it took a bit to figure out exactly why.  Started with a 120mm Corsair fan that didn't really do anything, then found an old Noctua air cooler and pull the fans off of that.
