data enclosure

[Jon Jacobs]

My house was built in 1960. Back in the day they built the A/C unit right through the wall. It was kind of an eyesore so I removed it and converted the space to a cabinet I could store the modem and related TV/ Computer electronics in.

I cored through the studs behind the T/V and ran the cables through the wall to tidy up the area.

This is my progress so far.

FWIW, I believe some of those weird old air conditioners are collectable to certain people!

If you are putting a cover/door on that make sure you have very good air flow in there, you would be surprised how much heat is generated and electronics do not like heat.

If I leave my media cabinet door closed when running the xbox in there it heats up at least 20 degrees after about an hour.

You also are going to want to insulate that back panel. It appears that it has one side indoors and one side outdoors? Otherwise you are going to have a condensation fest in the winter on cold days.

Otherwise great idea. I know people have have done this that have closets on the other side of their TV wall, works out great.
