the heat shouldn’t be an issue, i left the case sides off the pc, and there are a bunch of fans in there, turned all the way to 11.

plus the computer is about 2 inches away from the water main coming into the house, which is always cold. so therefore i have water cooling by proximity. i think i’ll start overclocking the beast.

and since it is enclosed in a closet (that i thouroughly vacuumed), the dust should be minimal. and actually should be less than out in the main living area where dust is being kicked up a lot more frequently.

the enclosure also has the added benefit of hiding the noise produced by the fans. which is nice.
