: I can't directly asnwer your question, but this is what I did. I put a good sized fan, probably 8", on the back near the bottom. It is "sucking" into the cabinet. I have a cover that came with it that has some sort of a very porious foam filter on it to keep dust out. I then put a smaller 3" fan on the shelf that my 27" TV is on. This blows upward, and the way the TV is, it blows right past the back of it. This works great for keeping that part (the "hot" part) cool. I then put another 3" fan on the top of the cabinet blowing out of the cabinet. This creates a nice cycle of grabbing cooler air (near the floor), pulling it up and past the TV (and computer for that matter), and right out the top. Since warm air rises anyway, it seemed logical to do this, and with the little bit of filteration on the air coming in, it keeps dust down. I can be playing the arcade for a couple of hours, and it is still nice and cool inside it.

: It may not (or may) be the best way, but it is the way that works for me.

: : I am building my cabinet now and I'm thinking of putting one of happ's cooling fans on the bottom of the back panel. I'm putting their handles with the vents in them on the top of the back and I was wondering if one of their fans would be enough to cool my cabinet. I'm going to have my computer in the cabinet and my t.v. mounted without the plastic housing. Please let me know. Thanks!

: : Game on!! Brian
