[QUOTE="moiristo, post: 144350, member: 26940"] I'll see if I can get my hands on a digital camera, then I'll post some pictures. I don't know about the heat coming from the HDD, but I can tell you about the cpu. I have enabled AMD's Cool'n'Quiet technology to enable underclocking, which means that the cpu will generate less heat. When just watching a divX movie, it runs fine at 1000mhz, which causes the fan to only run at about 1000rpm, resulting in a temperature of about 30-40 degrees. When I use the floppyDTV, it needs some more power, causing the temperature to rise to 45-50 degrees. The fan is running at about 2000 rpm in that case. As I already explained, it doesn't exceed 60 degrees. Moreover, since the CPU is on the far right and there are enough ventilation rosters on the case, the overall temperature of the system won't become very high. The fan is small, because the case is only 7cm high. It has only two pins, while the mobo needs three to measure/control the speed :(. Therefore, it is directly connected to the psu, and thus running at full speed. In a silent room the noise is clearly present, but when watching movies or listening music at 'normal' volume, you won't hear it. I have heard that Hiper is releasing some new cases with similar sizes as the Media Chassis. It could be that they contain a better PSU than this one. [/QUOTE]
