Build Some Fans Into Your Entertainment Center for Better Cooling


Entertainment cabinets are great for housing your media hardware, but those cupboards can get pretty hot. In this video, LinusTechTips shows us how to install custom cooling in your entertainment center.

We've talked about this concept a few times before (most notably in our guide to building a home theater PC in your entertainment center), but the video walkthrough is really helpful for visualizing it—plus, it's yet one more layout for you to consider in your own setup. Linus has built the fans into the bottom of the unit so they aren't easily visible, and while you'll need some power tools to set it up, it can be a lifesaver for your hardware, whether it's an Xbox or a full-blown PC.

Check out the video to see the whole project in action.
