fans for the cab?
Donkbaca:
So i am building a slim cabinet, and putting a pc and xb 360 in it. Should i add fans to it? I think it should be okay with just ventilation slots in the back. The PC, I think should be fine, and the XB 360 has new thermal paste and the x-clamps removed. Plus it will have the dvd player removed, and will probably have the top of the case off.
I know it will be a decently cramped space, but I think the XB 360 will have plenty of air flow with the top off and the hard drive removed.
Do you think I should add fans?
I don't want to drop another 50 bucks on fans, especially since I hate the sound of all the fans buzzing.
Let me know,
thanks

Do you have intake vents near the bottom?
clutch:
I got this for my entertainment center. The enclosed components generate some heat. It has a sensor on it, so the fans only kick in once a certain temp is reached and then kick off once the temp is lowered. I can barely hear them.

Donkbaca:
I plan on putting vents near the bottom and top if the area.
Clutch, that seems like a good solution, but I would rather not drop the 70 bucks if I don't have to.
BobA:
A 120mm fan and a single fan controller should cost less than $15 and is really good insurance. 120mm fans are built to be quiet at full speed so a lower speed setting usually makes it inaudible.
