How helpful is that size rack with heat in the room? Do you vent it any where? My office gets pretty toasty when those P620 fans spool up.

TBH, it’s been a while since I’ve had both machines cooking. The room def gets toasty. I have a small window AC unit which works fine. I mostly have the gear in the rack to keep the cats away.
