PC in the cabinet
Posted by Trojekp@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 5 comments
Hi Guys, I'm finishing my build and need your advice. My PC will be in living room connected to a TV. Wife wants it to be somehow hidden, not to have it standing in the middle of room. Do you think it will work well when put into cabinet as below?

It have its front doors made from mesh, so there should be air circulation. Just not sure if enough.

I think there is something to be said for making sure you have an aestheticly pleasing case to start with.

What are your specs? As gamblodar said, you’ll want an intake fan. But depending on your card you might want/need multiple.

My specs are: Radeon R7-7800X3D, 64GB RAM, RTX5070 graphics, whole water cooled.
Here you can see all the details (in Polish only): https://www.x-kom.pl/p/1321796-desktop-g4m3r-hero-plus-r7-7800x3d-64gb-1tb-rtx5070-w11x.html?pageThemeMode=dark&

I would add some ventilation, even just a 120 as intake somewhere. Even with the mesh front, it'll get warm in there.

I second this - add an exhaust vent or two with USB fans. It’ll get real toasty in there without directed exhaust, but intake should be fine since the cabinet would have negative pressure, causing intake from the mesh front.
