Aww heck just get a refrigerator. You have plenty of room to setup more<br>
than 12 MoBos, PSUs, HDDs. You don't really need fans as refrigerators<br>
have their own fans/blowers to circulate the air inside. Now you can<br>
even go hog wild and put a keg in the veggie bin, run a tap out the<br>
door. Now you will want a unit that gives outside access to the ice made<br>
by the ice maker. Now you have the ultimate Tap 'A' Keg computer.<br>
