I did have one but it isn't really needed as it is, quite literally, a case
of swapping the drives out, no more. Just make sure you have a quiet 5400
rpm drive to put in there as I found a 7200 rpm one noisy and far too hot
for my liking.

That's another thing about Sky+ what does my head in, it's a noisy bugger
compared with TiVo too so I have "modded" the case with some
sound deadenin=
g
but it's still not too quite. :/
