    Hi all, in the midst of planning my new 3ft. So have to give every piece equipment proper thought and planning. Due to space constraints, I will be housing my chiller in my 3ft cabinet. There will be ventilation hole behind the cabinet and I'll probably fix a mini fan inside the cabinet. Thinking of hooking up some funnel like my dryer at home to perhaps channel out the hot air out my window I don't know, haven't figured that one out. By the way, the chiller is for my 1 ft cube that is about 50cm away .

    Ok. The problem is I'll be housing my co2 cylinder in the same cabinet. Being pressurised and compressed air, will the heat generated in the cabinet create any potential danger? As in explode or something? Any one run the same setup like this?

    Cheers!

    CO2 tank should have safety valve that will purge extra pressure.

    Best is to leave the chiller outside the cabinet.
