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.

That is one reason to have the UPS and the batteries in separate rooms. --Johnny
