I have a closed front Cabinet and am thinking of putting a Fan under the receiver intake one up high exhausting outback good or bad?

I think that would work well. I have mine mounted both mounted under my receiver so they blow up through it. There is no back on mine so it has lots of room to free flow out. The fans work very well they turn off and on as needed and are very quiet. Hope this helps.

by no means is this a quite fan. they are great but you can hear from one end of 3 bedroom house to the other. not outside,about like having your stove fan on high(like in someone else's answer)is the perfect description. if you dont want it to be heard by visitors ,that will be within one wall seperating ,it may be too loud. but like i said it is worth the price i ha mine 2 years

you should use the fan for intake. if there is enough space for air to enter

The fans are at the back and they're not super powerful; they tend to not hold the unit at temp unless you clean them regularly and they have good air flow. So I would suspect it would work poorly if put under a counter.

I have my fan mounted on an oil cooler inside the cab of my baja bug that I desert race with as well as it being my daily driver, and I cannot really hear it but then again I have no insulation in their head liner or anything so it is extremely loud in there with the engine noise as it is. As far as would I buy one again the answer is most definitely yes. it is a rugged fan that has been through a lot and keeps on going. I have recommended them to my friends that race as well as those that just have street driven Baja bugs

My fan is set up to pull air in and expel out the back. Even though my cabinet has a open front, my receiver puts out some heat in a small area (not to mention the DVD, cable box, Roku) and I get real peace of mind..

The unit cannot be completely enclosed. It is air cooled and needs fresh air for the intake.

We carry our unit on the floorboard of the back seat behind the driver. The sound level is only noticeable when the radio is off and then the sound is the same as a small fan on low speed. The heat given off is not noticeable at all, as we run in the summer with the air conditioning on. It is very important to not place anything on the unit so the intake and outlet for the fan are not interfered with. Hope this helps in your decision.

I wouldn't recommend that application. This fan is made to move air from a case or cabinet not to exhaust a bathroom. It's not big enough

It is a bit noisy. I bought some rubber mounts and some insulation material to mount on the fan............I have not installed it yet but for sure the noise can be curtailed one way or the other........could also hang the fan and use short flex duct .......This size of fan with this much air movement is going to be noisy

My A/V cabinet is fully enclosed with no ventilation so I have one fan pulling in air and one fan pushing air out. It depends on your cabinet / preference.

You can put it anywhere you want. If it is an enclosed cabinet I would make sure that there is enough ventilation. (see last post) If there isn't, heat will build up and the components in the cabinet will not last as long. When I am home I have my TV and Tuner on from when I get home from work to when I go to bed. Heat builds up and a cooling fan was a great solution to the heat build up. I'm no Amazon electronics wiz bang, just my 2 cents. Good luck.

The fan is quite strong. There is also an accordion hose for both the exhaust and the cool air. Depending upon how far apart your two employees are, you could put a splitter on the cool air and give each some air. It should be adequate especially if you had the outlet overhead so the cold air "falls" on them. You also might do better by replacing the accordion tube with a smooth sided duct to reduce drag on the air.

I just put it behind the receiver . It works fine because my cabinet has metal grill door so air circulates well with this fan. Very quite fan and keeps receiver cool to touch

This is a cabinet fan, I installed 1 to bring in cool air and 1 to get the heat out, on a cabinet for a wine cellar compressor. They're doing fine job. It's quiet and should do the job for your desktop, Install 1 only (It's big) at the source of the heat to bring it out.

No problem if you sit behind.. the hot airflow is towards front. Air intake is from side and hot air blows out from the front vents.

I have a Corsair H90 140 mm installed. I have it exhaust out of the back side of the case. Moved the existing fan to the bottom of the case. No issues, cools great.
