My new Pace PVR3 doesn't have a cooling fan like the older PVR's and everyone knows that heat is a killer on PC's/HD's..... so have a couple of ideas:
Laptop cooler, usb powered (may run off usb on pvr!!!), available in silver (or black) off 'the' most popular auction site for owt between 10-20 quid, just stand PVR on top (or vice versa)... ideal if your sky+ is in a cabinet or if you have box on top of box.
Or
budget jobbie..... twin fan harddrive cooler (about 2 quid), powered from a 12v supply (about 2 quid) with a resister to drop the speed (quieter), just bluetak it on top of the sky+ (easy removal).......
should make a welcome diff'.
Last year in the summer my PC shutdown due to heat...... and that's got more fans than manchester united..... at least 3!!!
