  Yeah, seems a second fan would help with air flow into/out of the case. Depending on how air tight everything is when it’s closed.

    There are actuality two fans. There’s an intake on the bottom full cold air, and the top is exhaust. I posted temps if you wanna see how it is at full tilt

      Makes sense, looks like a good build then.

  Added them in another comment, but I’ll put them here to. This is while I have plex and frigate running with tdarr rencoding 8 files into av1 at a time

  If it’s just a media server that spends 99.5% of its life idling, temps might not actually be that bad.

    But enclosed in a box without much airflow and those temps are going to creep up over time. And take even longer to cool down. Hopefully there’s fans in the bottom or side. Because one exhaust is not great for even just the heat from those hard drives.

    I think the best way to handle airflow out is to have a turn or two on the intake/exhausts for the noise to get trapped. I personally just put mine in my basement though. That limits the sound pretty well.

      I personally built a server house a couple hundred feet away from my mansion.

      I’d also put mine in the basement, but I live in a flat.

    All of those hard drives will produce quite a bit of heat just sitting idle.

      They won’t really produce any heat if they sleep properly. Also that should help them last quite a bit longer.

    They usually do transcoding when you watch a movie or so. Depending on hardware that may heat it up a bit. I guess if it would have heating problems then OP would have resolved that already though.
