Am the owner of a Pace TDS470N but somewhat disappointed with the noise being emitted from the box. I am now on my second brand new box, the first was much noisier than this but as I have not had Sky+ before, or even Sky for that matter I don't know what is normal.
I can tell you that I can definitely hear the hard discs spinning, not a fan. My neighbour works in computers and he said that he could not hear it straight away, either I am too fussy or unlucky?!
As I have already changed it once I am tempted to get someone to have a look inside and see if the HDD can be made any quieter, someone has already offered. Obviously this will invalidate the warranty but I may end up with a noisier box again. The other option is to take it back to the shop and compare with the one they have setup in there.
Any advice appreciated.
