How would that help ?


It all depends on the cabinet. A closed cabinet would let you control the humidity by adding a couple of big cans of desiccant. I doubt heat from the cpu would be a big problem. A box the size of a small hallway closet has a lot of air in it and a lot of surface area to dissipate the heat.

==========================

On another tangent.

Something occurred to me last night about the idea of putting your equipment in the attic.

Provided the central heat and air is routed thru the attic, it would be dirt simple to build an insulated box to house the equipment. Then just route one of the ac ducts thru the box on its way to any room you choose. Alternately, you might add small supply and return ducts just for that enclosure.

I suppose the box material of choice would be the rigid foam sheet used for insulation. 5 min epoxy. No sweat.
