looking for a design for a PC Isolation Cabinet

zemlin · 17th February 2006

I'm gonna' build me an isolation cabinet for my computers. Materials are not the issue, I know what I'm going to use - and I'm a product design engineer by day, so creating a design is not an issue if I can't find one that fits the bill.

I just don't want to spend the time on a design if I don't have to.

The main thing I want to do is silence my computers, which are already pretty quiet. Main concerns are good airflow for cooling (duh!) inlet and outlet ducts that will provide good isolation.

I'm hoping that it will fit under a standard desk (about 28" high, max) and I need to be able to extract one computer with relative ease when I have location recording jobs. The fronts of the computers need to be easily accessible when I'm making CDs and DVDs.

Any designs out there that will save me some thinking/drawing time? I'm well equipped for cabinetry, so it doesn't need to be an easy-to-build design.

thanks
