Considering my last topic posted was about audio rack suggestions, here's my next dilemma.
I have pretty much decided on what my new racks will be (thanks everyone who chimed in on that conversation) but I'm now debating over dust control vs. heat control. My first thoughts were to place my rack and components into a built-in closet/cabinet to keep the dust down. Of course, the next problem becomes heat build-up in a mostly enclosed environment! My equipment will only be on when the doors of the enclosure are open, but is that enough to keep things from overheating? Next, I'm thinking of adding fans and ventilation until my thoughts go to added noise and/or interference in the circuit.
Now, I switch things up in my head and say no to a closet/cabinet and go back to the dust issue! So I'm thinking of an open pair of racks and covering everything up when not in use with something like a HUGE toaster cover!
Just keep in mind, the only thing crazier than my asking about this is you guys answering it!
TIA
