[mythtv-users] HDD Temp

[Richard Bronosky]

I'm a big fan of heat sinks vs. fans.  I use fans and cut holes to make
air flow in the case.  To cool components I like to get stock aluminum
and scroll saw it in to dozens of pieces, bonding then together with
thermal adhesive.  Fill up every free inch of your case with this
aluminum and get some air flowing.  Things will get cool, but your case
will weight a lot.  Better than being noisy!
