Cooling Custom Arcades??

A few notes on this stuff.

I used to decase my computers in my Mame cabinets. I stopped doing it once I got a good look at the insides of several modern PC based arcade games. Every single one still has the computer inside the case.

So, keeping the computer in the case IS correct.

As long as your cabinet has SOME sort of ventilation then you will be fine. My (slotted) decased Athlon 650 powered micro-mini had NO ventilation, and it did get a little warm inside, but no warmer than the inside of any normal computer.
