I would think the down side of porcelain might be unwanted vibration.

It may look great but it will not sound great bad idea.Good luck!!

Ventilation

Ventilation?

^opps, sorry about that.

Porcelain is the poor man’s ceramics, which is an excellent vibration damper, I.e., resonator. And I’m not hot doggin ya.

Not worried about the vibration,I can work that out. I’m concerned if there would be any unwanted frequencies from the porcelain? I also have the ventilation covered.

The porcelain is just a thin layer over steel. To my mind the question also arises, will the components being surrounded by a steel encloser, except the front when the door is either open or removed, present any problem. I don't have any knowledgeable opinion but someone else probably does.

Oops. Double tapped the post your response.

Porcelain (ceramics), are regularly used in all kinds of electronics. Its a very good insulator. Tube sockets, cables, speakers, diodes, resistors, electrical outlets, etc. If anything, it might be beneficial. 

Just some general info.

" List of Common Insulating Materials. Clay (ceramic)(porcelain) - This is the standard material for high voltage and RF insulators. ... It is a good thermal conductor while being an insulator. Sheet mica is easily stamped and shaped forelectrical components."

It insulates current, not vibration. Thats pretty clear cut. 

Personally I think its the wrong type of environment to be housing audio components. Refinish it and put your beer in it $0.02

Thanks to all who replied!
With a lil labor, the doors have raised panels that I will be replacing with speaker grill cloth, & install a fan in the top rear of the unit. My existing unit doesn't go with my decor. I figured this will be strong enough to house 2-amps, 1-pre, 1-Pioneer sx1280 & miscellaneous gear. Total about 300 lbs. plus.

So was the OP's question.

He says he's "not worried about the vibration" but is "concerned if there would be any unwanted frequencies from the porcelain." What's the difference?

I thought maybe it would have effect the sound & or video output/input in some way.

I'd like to see a picture of it when it's completed!
