Re: Keeping things cool

["tomdubourg" <thomas.dubourg@xxxxxxx>]

I have my AV gear confined in a small cabinet with lots of other AV 
stuff including my Tivo.

Tivo reports on its status screen that its board temperature is 32C 
and that it is happy with that. 

I guess in your situation the temperature inside your cabinet would 
be slightly lower than the board temperature.
