More than 10 degrees above what?
Well, if Maxtor drives (both SCSI and IDE) are a guide, you should not go above 55¡C, and I would start to be concerned if it got too close to that.
Why is your box so hot? Mine has two 90 watt Xeom processors in it, 4 GBytes RAM (I do not know how much power that is), 6 hard drives, ... . Must be using a lot of power. I have a 660 Watt power supply in there.
I leave mine up 24-7 unless power goes off for longer than my UPS can stand.

Holy Cow! What a big fan! Does it fit in your case? Or do you mean 120mm fan?
My box has 13 fans, but some do not count. The two 60mm x 38mm fans for the processors do not count (although, of course, the processors appreciate them). There is a little 40mm x 25mm I added that blows through a hole I punched in the case (but behind the bezel and air filter) to cool a hot spot right where CPU0 gets its intake air; I do not think that counts much in the overall scheme of things.
In the front are three intake fans: 120mm x 25mm, 80mm x 25mm, and the little 40mm x 25mm. all blowing into the lower half of the case.
On the left side of the case are two 80mm x 25mm intake fans blowing into the upper half of the case, right onto the 4 SCSI hard drives (there is a tape drive and a cdrom drive there too, but they are not used much).
The first public release of the GNU Readline library, version 5.1, is now available for FTP with the URLs ftp...
At the top of the lower half of the case is a 90mm x 25mm exhaust fan. At the top of the upper half of the case is an 80mm x 25mm exhaust fan, there are two 80mm exhaust fans in the power supply, and there are two more 80mm x 25mm exhaust fans for the SCSI hard drives.
Even so, when the room temperature goes up to about 95¡F, it gets pretty hot in the box.
Mine seems to be running OK.
I am not sure what you mean. From the top of the compartment where the SCSI hard drives are, aredev-sdd,dev-sdc,dev-st0,dev-sdb,dev-sda, anddev-hdc. These all essentially touch; there may be a millimeter or two between them where a little of the cooling air goes.
According to the manufacturer, the SCSI disks take about 10 watts each, which is not a whole lot.
