[ale] Enclosed Desks

[Denny Chambers]

If don't mind doing some mods to the desk, you can always put 6" or 8" 
fan on the back of the desk. I have done this before on an entertainment 
center cabinet, where the the amplifier/receiver was getting a little 
warm. Seem like I bought the fan at Radio Shack. It looked like an 
oversized computer fan. I would mount the fan on the back so that it 
sucks the air out of the cabinet. You may also have to fix the front 
doors so that they have enough space to allow air to flow in. Just a 
thought, if your your really set on keeping both computers in cabinet. 
As long as you have good air flow, you should have any problems.
