It's true that there's only room for one optical and a single IDE no SATA (There might be SATA on the more expensive one with the ATI video). The noise issue, I think, is that the quiet mode is off by default in the BIOS settings, and it really howls, but once I turned on quiet mode, I can't hear it at all. It didn't take a dremel to get in my PVR 150, but some forcing was required, and I think I can forget about putting a second tuner in it. I can't complain about the video quality, but I've been using VGA out so far while waiting to get back the TV I left behind with my girlfriend when I moved.
