I have the 36-bay version of that case and replaced all of the 80mm fans with 92mm fans from Noctua. The base systems are designed to run under load 24/7 with HDDs crunching data the whole time. My system is a NAS that will run idle 22/7 with a mix of consumer SSDs and NAS rated HDDs. I also ditched the passive coolers and installed Noctua NH-L12 coolers with only the 80mm fan on the bottom. The fits are arranged so air can pass through them on the way out of the case.
The processors are E5 Ivy Bridge 8-core chips that run around 2.3GHz. I forget the model number. There are 5 Avago 9300-8i HBAs and a single Supermicro Fortville-based dual 40GbE NIC.
The system has been up for a few days and survived the initial transfer of 40TB of data.
