Amps hidden in a cabinet - vented!

[PCSoldaat]

Hey guys, you women don't like to see all the hardware.
We found a nice and affordable cabinet with smoked glass doors: the IKEA Bestå. Only problem: how to protect the amps from overheating?
I saved a few fans and a controller from an old pc. I put them on the shelf just beneath the amps vent holes. Made some extra holes in the back of the cabinet and done. All safely vented!

You only see some leds burning when on. And: remotes still work!

I'm a 'fan' of your work!

Got to show it to my wife, I need space for more Hi-Fi equipment!

The fans run silently, I assume?

Yes, usually fans run on 12V and can be heard, but tuned them down to 5V. You can't hear them, even with door open.
