[QUOTE="octanejunkie, post: 176207, member: 3872"] Nice. Not sure you need to swap out the glass, I would notch the bottom shelf and put a couple of holes in the top for passive ventilation or install some 12 volt fans and put them on a thermostatic relay and add a temperature controller, if you want to get fancy, and you can move air through the cabinet is necessary starting with ambient. if you live in a colder climate, you can also add heat coils at the very bottom and use the fans the draw the heat up through the cabinet before exhausting it; again relying on the thermostat controller to regulate heat/fan on/off. I've done a ton of this work in the AV world in custom homes so it's a no-brainer and can be done for very little money if electrical engineering is your thing. One question tho, WILL IT BE BIG ENOUGH FOR ALL YOUR Ts? [/QUOTE]
