One of the little details included in the living room cabinetry is a venting system built into the lower cabinets on the left hand side that will house our entertainment electronics. Each of these lower cabinets have an integral “grill” milled into the base that will provide an entrance for cooling air and an unobstructed pathway through the cabinet to a vent in the top. We hope this “passive” system will provide enough cooling for our electronics but have included a provision beneath the vent for an axial fan if necessary.
The photo below shows both of the cabinets under the bookshelves in the living room window seat. The left hand cabinet will house the entertainment system for the 46” LCD television we plan to mount above the piano in the music room. Our current plan is to simply use a Sony Play Station and possibly a cable box. The right hand cabinet will provide a home for my “real” Macintosh home stereo system that includes a pair of integrated amplifiers and one of their wonderful Pre-amplifiers driving a set of B&W speakers. The speaker wires for this system are already installed in the walls and terminate into the cabinet. The details of our home automation plan can be seen in this posting from October of last year.
