Well, it's the set up. While it's good, it's not ideal.

I have this Bell'O International Corporation - WMFC503
The top is deep enough to keep the center channel, modem, large router, smart things hub and PS4. The PS4 sits by itself on the right. I need to exhaust air from that top level as plenty is available from the front.

This real hiccup is the amp which is on the second level. The amp is 6-7" tall and there's only about 7 1/2 available. It fits but heat rises then hits the shelf above and more or less stays. Plenty of air around but not above.
So I'm thinking of another exhaust to just move air.

Amazon has a decent fan/controller for around $70. I can get a Sinus rack fan/thermostat/controller from work but it's huge.

Yep, I rambled. My other hobby is my A/V system.
Does your amp/receiver not have a switched outlet on it?
Back in my av days we used those to plug in a standard rack fan. It will start when you turn on the amp.
From the sound of it I might would make a hole in the shelf between the amp and ps4. And then maybe have the fan pull from the ps4 side into the amp side. My thought being pulling from the amp the air would be hotter on the ps4. :2c:

No switched outlet, and I'd have to cut a hole in glass. The cabinet has sizeable holes in the back for exhaust.

I may end up moving the PS4 to the very bottom. Only thing down there is the Blu-ray player. Heat really wouldn't be an issue for the amp if I had another inch on top. Have all the shelves adjusted so no more room. Wanna use the stand cause it was new and free. I don't use the doors on it just because of heat

Maybe these type of standard fans cut into the back of the cabinet pulling air to the wall. Honestly didn't click the link before my first post to see glass lol. Only thing to figure out is the switched power. Maybe one of the annoying power strips where the master outlet controls power to the other plugs on the strip? With the amp as master.

Oh, as a former squid I'm well aware of the reason...
But I love the insanity of them. Very clearly the fashion idea of a bizzare mind.

Their popularity in civilian life was mainly that they covered our hideous Earth shoes. At least IMHO.

I could not say no to a 20$ clearance price on a beyond vape Centurion 26650 mod. It's white with black accents looks really nice and feels good in the hand, heavy tho.
Is that a wismec device? I'm about to head out for most of the morning but I thought I saw where wismec played a role in that one's design or manufacture.

I am telling you, man, a computer fan will set you up just cut a hole in the back for the fan to push air out and you will be golden years back they had a kit that you could buy for a desk so you could place your tower in it and get extra air flow, it was a computer fan with a plastic cover that you put a sticker on to match your desk and it was like 40 bucks. COOLER MASTER R4-S2S-124K-GP Silent Case Fan (4-Pack) - Newegg.com this is a 4 pack so you would have two left over or you could go all out and use them all. Or you could get the ones with lights on it and really go all out.

That's about the route I'm going. Want a thermostat as well. We watch movies and I want quiet too.

You get an exemption for the first 365 days or 365 vaping related devices, tanks, diy supplies; which ever comes first :cool:

We do? I've still got like 50 or so days to go hog wild. Haven't heard that rule before.

Unfortunately, I ALREADY went hog wild. I'm having a hard time justifying it. Good morning shiny folk. LOL.

Those fans are quiet but you can always spend more and get better or you could get really creative and set up a liquid system but that would be a long pain in the ... and void warranty
