In reply to:
one advanatge to the componets all being silver, they show dust much less than black.
Now there is a feature that my wife would like. Mind you her preference is for no equipment to be exposed to gather and show dust
. My plan is to have the equipment in a dedicated cabinet built into the wall. The return air for the room will go through a grille in the cabinet (thus making the cabinet as part of the return air duct) which will then be tied into the plenum. The grille will have a filter in it to reduce and hopefully prevent dust from getting into the entertainment cabinet.
This gives me the return air I need from the Media Room as well as providing more than adequate air circulation/ heat removal for the equipment. The ductwork will be lined to reduce soud transmission.
