[QUOTE="MorneDJ, post: 51081, member: 1101"] Have anyone tried to get power directly from the HD decoder. When I have time I will open mine, but there are a few PC case fans on the market that connect to the PC PSU via a standard moulex plug. The HDD inside the decoder also use a standard moulex plug. So, all you do is open the case of the decoder, remove moulex plug from HDD, plug it into the femal moulex plug of the fan, plug the fan moulex into the HDD, and bob should be your uncle. One can even go so far and use liquid-metal to fit a thermal switch on your HDD, and have the fan only come on if the HDD temp exceeds 40 degrees ... Just thinking out aloud .. bored in Ermelo in a guest house :( [/QUOTE]
