After doing the drive upgrade to my replay I keep thinking how poor the thermal layout seems to be. In one corner on the bottom is the power supply (perhaps the biggest heat generator in the box) next to it at the top is the hard disk. The vents on the top are all the way over on the other side of the unit. Hot air from the power supply rises to the top and cooks the hard disk before it eventually makes its way over to the other side where it can get out.
I'm thinking of drilling a bunch of holes in the cover directly above the power supply to allow the hot air out faster and hopefully reduce the temperature at the drive. Has anyone already attempted any such modification?? How did it work?
Any advice appreciated.
