To place cooling fans or not to place cooling fans.....
garnerb350:
I was comtenplating on whether or not to place cooling fans in my upright arcade build.
I want the cabinet to be enclosed, because of fear of my wife's cats and also my daughter. Plus I think that if I am going to build a cabinet, It needs to be complete. As I sit and ponder, with that much space and the only heat will be from my CPU and monitor and marquee light....do I really need to install cooling fans....or just install vents?
Does anyone have any suggestions?:dizzy:

Are you putting a computer case inside with it's own cooling? If so then I don't think you need anything else on top of that.

Just leave an opening on the top/back. You won't see it and you can attach an exhaust fan if you want.

I would still have a cooling fan at the top to pull out the hot air...
