wow - great looking housing you have planned !
I would add cooling in stages as needed :
Stage 1 - 2 fans aligned over 2 of the 4 units on a diagonal. If that is not enough,
Stage 2 - add 2 more fans to make it 4 fans. If THAT is not enough,
Stage 3 - add baffles to funnel air closer to the cooling fans.
Wouldn't you know I had already taken the old CD changer to the dump about a month ago? LOL
However, I found an old Time Lapse VCR recorder and gutted it, I found that is an absolutely perfect fit for everything that needs to go in there. It even has a power cord to use, I will probably put an additional power cord in there. I think I only want two LED units/Fan per cord. I found a couple of heavy duty toggle switches in my electrical box that will work for turning the whole thing on and off....I hope.
I need some opinions on whether these LED units are too close to each other, or any other reasons that this might not work. I don't want to go through the trouble of cutting the metal casing and find out it isn't going to work.
I plan to have the fans on the top sunk half in and half out of the housing, or maybe just mounted on top with a hole cut for the air to blow in there.. The power packs are a question, not sure whether to mount those on top or inside the unit with the LED's.
I have no idea how much heat these Clusters generate, so I want to be sure it isn't going to get too hot with the power packs and LED's inside the housing.
LA, do you know if these run hot?
Thanks everybody!
