Open PC in Cabinet?

<< < (2/2)

I run the PC in my MAME cab in a case that doesn't have the covers on. Basicaly its just a frame to hole the mobo power supply and HDD. I secured that to a shelf in the cabinet.

I did have heat troubles the 1st summer I built the cab. I had to add a nice quiet 120mm fan to the back of the cab blowing the hot air out. Never had a trouble again.

Sky Zero:
Great! Thanks for all the replies, I'll give it a shot over the weekend without the panel to see how it works. Will probably mount it on wood when I get a chance to.

daywane:
my problem turned out to be thermal grease dried up.
watch you CPU fan, if  it runs fine for 3 to 5 min try cleaning off old thermal grease and add new.
