Anyone done this?

My Panasonic Sky box is overheating a hell of a lot in this weather. :( Because of that it's locking up and is very hot to the touch.

Anyone modded a fan into theirs?

Tempted to take some of my 40mm fan and mount them extracting air at the back so the holes on top are acting as intakes and should hopefully cool the electronics inside.

May add a couple of heatsinks at the same time. Got a few low profile server designed copper ones around at the moment that I can use.

Any other suggestions?

Right - got the fans - got the thermal paste - got the soldering iron...

Now - where the hell is a 12v supply in one of these? :confused:

Hmmmmmm...
