Make silent extra cooling for noisy Mini server?

I have got a 2011 Mini Server with i7 quad core with two discs and I am using it for EyeTV in my living room. Problem is that it gets really noisy when compressing recording (even with Elgato H.264 HD attached) and it get even worse if I have got Plex server running as well.

Question is: Has anybody made some additional cooling for this nice machines? I have thought of some kind of cooling stand with a big silent fan. The stand could be attached so it replaces the bottom cover and just forces extra air in through the Mini.

Any ideas?

Kind regard, Karsten Hartmann

Take a look at this, the heat sink is on the bottom of the Mini: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20T...

The position of the stand is right, but the base should contain a big silent fan to increase the airflow. This one looks as an absolutely passive stand just for lifting the unit.

完成的

while this doesn't answer your question specifically, the cooling strategies may point you in the right direction.

Should I replace the thermal paste on my mini?

Mine peeked at 107c. So, for my mini, i bought an extra cover ($15). Drilled 1/8 holes evenly spaced around the edge of the cover of the slanted brim that faces forward. On the un-sealed side only. Machine stays below 99c while hd encoding. Top is barely warm now. Drastically increased air-flow from exhaust port! Just clean out the mini periodically. And make sure u have new thermal paste. Fan is also quieter at full speed.

2012 2.6 quadcore i7.
