As promised, a while ago, here are some pictures of my PSU and fan mod's to my Dreambox 7000s.
The fan is just held in place with small cable ties through the vent slots. It connects to the original hard drive power connector on the Dreambox. When I get chance I will add a 9 volt regulator to the fan lead so it runs slower and quieter. I tried it on the 5 volt supply but it wont always start spinning. 8 or 9 volts should be ok.
The PSU has had a small corner cut out so it fits snugly. It is not fastened in place and does not move about ( unless you turn the box upside down ). The mains supply is taken from the underside of the circuit board and soldered straight onto the power socket pins ( I should be able to remove it without visible signs I have messed with it if needed for the warrenty ). The hard drive is always powered up. Mine spins down when you shut down the Dreambox.
Where did I get the PSU from?
