I use a mdf box, large enough for a computer and a couple of harddisks, with a door that locks with a small hatch at the front. Backpanel can easily be removed too with some hatches, cabling goes out at the downside of the backpanel, isolated by some foam. Works OK for me, easy to build, only thing is - you need some sort of ventilation otherwise it gets too hot in there. Problem with ventilation is that sounds tends to come through as well. I created an air inlet by drilling holes in the floorpanel and mounting the floorpanel about 5 mm above the floor (so the box rests on the side panels). This way it sucks up cold air from beneath, not much noise comes out that way. Air goes out on the upper side of the back panel (it's hot, so it goes up all by itself) via a double shaft with damping materials in it (the air has to travel 'around a corner' through a pad with dampening stuff). This also reduces noise considerably. I guess you could improve on this by using a (preferably large, slow turning) fan to speed the airflow. On hot days, I fear it still gets a little too hot in there sometimes; easy solution is to open the door of the box for a while and close it when you're doing critical mixing... Once airco is installed in the studio that will be history too. Took me a couple of hours and some 60 euros on mdf board. If you put some work on it, it can look pretty neat. regards, Ivo > "timothynold" <timothynold@...> writes: >> IsoRaxx by Raxxess.
