that is interesting. i have thought about that, too. what did you have to
do to fit the heatpipe to the dvb-s? did you take the zm50-hp or one of
the zm80-hp? how good does it actually fit on the dvb-s, because how i see
it the hot spot on a video card is at a totally different place than on
the dvb card.
