Oh, but you missed the last 2 pages! Let me re-cap:
any HDD over 5400RPM is loud
DVD drives are not quiet
aluminum cases dissipate more heat than standard metal cases
low output fans are quieter than high output
and of cource, this wonderful chunk of wisdom:
"Alternative: Remove all fans
Though this is not suggested, you could remove all the fans for quietness. This can lead to overheating and is not suggested"
I agree, yet another worthless piece of self-promotion.
I don't have the motorola cable box so I can't be much help there. But In Columbus, Ohio, Time Warner uses Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2000 cable boxes that seem very similar in functionality. It also has some nifty hardware, USB, some type of card slot (PCMCIA?), another port marked as 'serial', it supposedly supports ethernet, also. I know they have some type of developer page on their site, but it looks like you need a membership?
I do know how to get into the diag mode though: hold down the diamond button for 5 seconds then hit select (or maybe both at the same time). You can see DETAILED information about the box, tune channels, etc... quite interesting!!
If anyone else is interested in this box, post or mail me, because I have been wondering what I could do to this box for over a year, I just never got around to messing around with it.
