While others have already talked about what to look out for in terms of
systems and drives, I haven't seen anyone mention things like your UPS
batteries. Were they also heat-soaked? At one place I worked at, we
lost a whole bank of batteries in the UPS room when it overheated. I
think that was somewhere around a $95,000 replacement and required
rush-delivery of a lot of SLAs from all over the place.
