I got caught out a few years ago with a case-fan failing, and I've seen a 1U box almost catch-fire, so I'm very paranoid now! I'm also fortunate in that the data centre I use allows me to host tower style PCs rather than the usual 1 or 2U boxes, so I can build boxes with lots of room inside that don't auto-roast on fan failure! Although in a few months time I'll be looking to host some stuff elsewhere, where space is at a premium, and therefore it's going to be 1 or 2U based servers, so it'll be an intersting diversion...
