My three Guruplugs are still giving sterling service as router/DHCP/DNS servers despite having been fitted with fans, external power supplies, externally powered eSata disks, new RTC batteries and heatsinks. At this time, I do not want to change hardware since very few devices have more than one ethernet port (Mirabox and Dreamplug I guess).
However, with the heat (and this problem is also affecting my sheevaplugs), the moulded cases are crumbling to the extent that bits of plastic are falling off. I have looked at cases in Maplin (mounting the board and holes for I/O are problematic) and I have been trying to get some plasticard styrene sheet to rebuild the cases. But I wonder if anyone has a better solution to a new case? Something that allows adequate ventilation, better mounting, cutouts for cables?
TIA
