Placing Mac Pro in an enclosed armoire; how hot does it run?
I currently have a G5 dual 2.7 that runs very hot.
I am thinking of getting a Mac Pro and I would like to place it inside an enclosed armoire. I will cut a hole in the back for ventilation, though I would like to keep the front doors closed while it is on, and I keep my computer turned on all the time. I would like to avoid placing fans in the cabinet if possible. I will also have a stereo receiver in the cabinet and that thing has the potential to get hot.
1. Do you think the Mac Pro runs cool enough to be placed in an enclosed environment like this?
2. If not, would it be enough to keep the front doors of the cabinet open while it is turned on?
Thanks for any input.
