Never thought of that....great idea!

Yup, satellite and cable boxes will do the trick. Just remember to remove the tray when watering ;-)

Reinvention of the wheel...........again......

LOL @ willard3

It's not reinvention, it's discovery for anyone who didn't know.

Heh, its not reinvention of the wheel, its discovering that you already have a perfectly good wheel sitting at home that means you don't have to go buy another one.

Make sure your box is getting enough air though. The ones with hard drives in them (PVR, DVR) can heat up real quick, and hard drives don't like heat.

Best to put something to raise the flat up a bit so air can continue to circulate around the box.

I was walking around Wally World and ran into my pick. I grabbed up one of these today. Heating pad and LCD temp control built in.

Here is a link that might be useful: Walmart

A lot of the new heat mats have a timer that turns them off after an hour or so.
It's because they don't want to be sued if some person burns themselves.
There are ways to disable the timer part of the chip but I don't know how safe it is to do.

Hey Kenoe, good find!
