cooling electronics cabinet

[nander]

We have a dish hopper, external hard drive, dvd player, etc in the cabinet. If we close the door, it gets too hot. Right now, we keep the door open.

I would like to close the door. How do you keep the cabinet cool with the door closed?

I made a 4 inch hole and mounted a cooling fan that runs off USB and covered the hole in the bottom of the cabinet with a grill.

Thanks for the ideas! Never thought of either one.
