722 In a closet

[DishDave]

Thinking about puting my 722 into a small hall closet 2ft deep 4ft wide think their will be enough air in the closet to not overheat the 722 ?

Sure, if you leave the door open.

I am leery of doing that.

BUT at a minimum,make sure you have a Laptop cooler (I use the Antec with the USB pass-through toggle) under it.

If you don't ventilate the closed space, eventually it will heat up and even with an auxillary fan, you will be circulating warm air.

Envision the closet as a server rack. You might want to think about ventilating the closet. If there is space under the door, you could use a small tabletop fan to pull air into the closet and put a passive grill up through the ceiling to let the air escape.
