For the engineers, the best answer is to replace both, a 70mm fits with a bit of trimming and a bigger hard is always handy... For the software types, XBMC can be set to lower the fan speed (and hence noise), and if you're streaming from your PC/Server over a lan, you can also set XMBC to spin down the internal harddrive too... Don't forget to install MythTV for maximum benefit... :) Lee -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
