[QUOTE="MegaPVR_Rack, post: 847910, member: 85602"] Have a WD10JPVT on its way :) to replace one of the Hitachis ;) Heat buildup: after 24 hours on, the entire system becomes slightly warm (i.e. <40), HDDs are bolted on the metal parts so there's a little heat exchange, CPU stays between 45-55 with fan at 1800 rpm (max is 5500 rpm, 52 dBA...). PICO-PSU warms up but not much, it is the warmest point on the top cover (i.e. you can tell where it is). Using MP fan spins to 2100 rpm but I could switch to manual control, since even with CPU usage 100% it never goes past 3500 rpm and this is noisier. Or I could switch to an i3-2120T but don't know how much less heat will it produce... FSP external brick stays cool all the time ;) [/QUOTE]
