    Post pics of cool air compressor installs here!

    If you enclose for noise, and plan on running for long periods, just make sure you have some way of venting the heat out of the space and allowing fresh air in. Hard on the compressor and you will the potential of having more moisture if your taking hot ambient air and compressing that.
