I also have a 30x30x12 enclosed 380, it has two 80mm (maybe even three) fans
mounted in the front which blow air onto the boards, and out the grating in
the back. If you are missing those, it could explain why you've been having
problems.

No, I haven't got any expansion box. It's all crammed into a 30?30?12 cm
box.
An extra ethernet card is fit in the top slot.
Fans? What fans? Is it supposed to have fans?
One thing I found particularly sympathetic about it was the fact that it was
absolutely silent. The only thing which reveals that it's running is the
smell
of burning ICs.
