building server cabinets

[xenocyd3]

hi,

my latest project is building a server cabinet...


i drew everything out... everything is pretty much your regular cabinet.


what materials do you think i should use?

 

[KLin]

wood. lots of wood. And metal. A little bit of metal. :thumbsup:

wood is very very bad as it doesn't conduct heat well. you want something that will radiate heat off the servers.

or have a lot of fans pushing air thru it.

i'm not going to use wood.

 

[TitanDiddly]

Aluminum or steel or polycarbonate.

any detials about your specs for your cabinet? what considerations did you consider when undertaking this type of project?

Rackmount?
