Can this be done without a computer power supply in the cabinet ?
I have done this with my computer desk...adding a separate computer fan outside of the computer, attached to a part of the desk to help the air flow out; it gets really hot in there especially in the summer, etc. etc.
My HT cabinet gets really hot too, my denon 3806 just blazes, so I wonder if it would be possible to cut a hole out the back of my wall unit where the components are and attach a fan to help get the air out of there.
I am really only wondering about how to power the fan. The rest of this is rather easy.(getting a cheap fan, maybe one with some lights on it, attaching it to the back, etc.)
I dont know why this comes to mind today (its 114 degrees outside and inside my house is only getting so cool with the A/C running, above 80 !)
