</a><br>><br><br>I had the sn95g5 (V.2) for a while (before it was stolen). Nice SFF case!<br>Managed to reduce the noise up to a point too, but got stuck on the whiny<br>little fan in the power supply. Unless you're going to do some major power
<br>supply mods (basically moving the psu out of the box with all the<br>connector problems that entails) you'll never get this box quiet enough<br>for a fronmtend you can live with. Not sure about the 25p. looks lovely<br>
and as I understand it has more (but possibly larger and standard sized<br>fans you can swap with quieter models). I'm currently running a Biostar<br>iDEQ 330p. there's one non'standard axial blower at the back, but this is
<br>really overkill except for CPU intensive stuff. I've swapped the other<br>fans for SilenX quiet models and can honestly say that the noise level is<br>very acceptable now using pwm fancontrol (you need to load the it87 module
<br>with the fix_pwm_polarity parameter). You might want to take a look at it<br>as a possible alternative.<br><br>Cheers<br><br>Marius<br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org">

I have an SN42G2 (or something like that), just thought I'd let you
know that heat and noise are a problem on this (esp since I added a
second hard disk). It has to run with the case off, this does nothing
to help with the noise :)<br>
<br>
I would expect the SN95G5 to have similar issues, particuallarly after Marius post.<br>
