I’ve been running MythTV for a little over 2 years,
during that time, I’ve performed extensive upgrades/maintenance tweaking
everything to work exactly the way I want. I’m going to avoid geeking out
and listing specs, but suffice it to say it’s a VERY powerful setup,
spread across two front-end’s and two back-end’s. This being the holiday season I opened everything up (first
time in a few months) and cleaned it out. Q-Tips rubbing alcohol, compressed
air……..the whole deal. After the operation I returned everything
back to its homes, rewired, and applied powered. The noise level dropped
significantly (better air pass thru, less vibration, better air circulation). I also picked up some air purifiers from home depot, as I
live in a home with two cats, and a smoker. So I thought I’d leave some tips (others feel free to
add for those that archive search): 1) Be sure to
clean the intake and outtake fans once every 6 months. 2) Clean the
CPU fan once a year. 3) Consider a
HEPA capable air purifier (place one near your setup – running on low). It’s
a little box – typically less than 100$ 4) If you have
a pet or smoke, step 3 is VERY important. David |
