[QUOTE="Peter2, post: 1101274, member: 24945"] A little update. 1) I have removed the tray and used some rubber pads screwed together on a thin wooden rail 2) opened the back to fix the PSU to it and some of the heat leaves the compartment [ATTACH]155574[/ATTACH] Next, I will lift the bottom shelf by 5 cm so that the height becomes 14 cm which is what I need for the TV tuner. Another idea is to use a riser card for the TV tuner so that I can lift the bottom even more, mainly to decrease the volume in the box but a new problem rises on how to position/fix this riser card with TV tuner above the mobo and I wonder if this is worth doing so. What do you guys think: will this have any noticeable effect on temps? Remember, I want to close the front completely with probably at least the power LED, power button and if needed an air intake with filter. If the intake opening is necessary because of temps getting to high, I think putting it to the right close so the HD gets cool air and put a fan at the back-left, somewhere close the TV card. Any comments, ideas, ... are very appreciated. [/QUOTE]
