[QUOTE="Llew, post: 121591, member: 175007"] I always consider placing equipment in an enclosed cabinet the kiss of death to STBs. You could fit a small computer fan in your equipment, but where will the warm air escape to in the cabinet? Leave the doors open, or better still, fit a fan somewhere on the cabinet (perhaps at the back), operated from a DC adaptor. All my stuff is free-standing,and even then I ensure plenty of space is provided by standing the equipment on small pieces of 15mm plastic water pipe stuck to the STB's mounts. Looks quite OK aesthetically, but what the heck, there's a lot of expensive equipment that I don't intend to cook to death prematurely. Llew [/QUOTE]
