Enclosed cabinet? How good are the fans ?

I like the look of having an enclosed cabinet for my av gear. I do not need a tv stand,my Sony xbr1 already has one. Just looking for something to place my Arcam AVR 600,PS Audio powerplay 8000, Sony PS3 and Xbox 360 in. How good are the fans in an enclosed cabinet? Right now my Arcam is under my television and it does get hot after awhile. Don't want to kill it because of heat. What would you recommend? I am also open to having an open stand. Just need to make sure all of my gear stays cool. Thanks for the help. John

Not sure what you are asking.... I run vintage tube amps with NOS Mullard tubes (i.e. $120 per tube x8) in an enclosed cabinet (some of the time) with auxiliary fans that kick in around 90 degrees without any problem.... The fans on my son's Xbox and PS3 work fine but are just too loud for my taste. Texas in the summer w/o ac might be a problem.... so what's you're concern?

If the cabinet is vented and the room temp is ok, you should be fine...
