pack considerably more spinning disks bought off the shelf at radioshack than you ever reasonably should in a box in a colo, turns out they generate a lot of heat, I don't recall the year I'd guess around 2004/5-ish - was a big problem, site was down for quite some time. Same year someone found out who one of our mods was and showed up to their house with a gun. Ask me about hypergrowth, I'm not sure if the DeviantART stories or the DigitalOcean stories are more wild. heh. :)
