[mythtv-users] VIA MII 1000 and PVR 150

[Wander Winkelhorst]

I'm using a bog-standard beige tower that was something like 30 euro's
incl. PSU (that's uhm.. 50$?) I replaced the PSU with a 200W Enlight
PSU which is a bit quieter but still much to noisy to have in your
living room 24/7

Now I have ordered a Enlight 7473 which is smaller and looks like a
couple of stacked DVD players. Hopefully it will be quieter as well,
if not there's allways ways to make it quieter (7 volt anyone?)

See these links for some more info:

A (dutch) user review (which basicly says he likes the PSU, the looks
and the price but that the 60mm fans are a bit to loud)

And finally; here is a link where a guy describes how he used a blue
ice 2 cooler for his SP13000: (It's in french, so i could read only a
bit of it)

Lots of links, I hope I didn't spoil your easter weekend ;-)
