I've just taken delivery of a wooden cabinet to hold my AV kit, and I'm a little concerned about the temperature. I've read Deepcore's useful thread on fitting cooling fans to a cabinet (http://www.avforums.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3528487), and am considering doing the same.
However, I don't know much of a problem this really is for me. I only have a Sky HD box, Amp and DVD player in the cabinet, and they do get fairly warm with the door closed. However, I've drilled a couple of extra holes at the top and bottom - and obviously it has to be a bit warmer in there for convection to occur. My wife is convinced I'm worrying about nothing!
Does anyone know what sort of temperature AV components can sit in without damage? That way, I could monitor the temperature before taking the plunge and fitting fans if really necessary...
Thanks,
David
