How much ventilation should this little thing receive under typical/average conditions? Would just a small 2" port to ambient air be enough?

Gordon....The amp does a great job dissipating heat itself so not much ventilation is required. I recommend placing it in a well ventilated area just to keep it cooler, but not necessary. After hours of use, the amp gets warm enough to the touch but will not distort it's performance at all. Hope it helps!

Yea should be fine. It doesn't heat up much if the blue lights aren't constantly on.

I don't have any heat issues with it but any electronics like this should have ample space for ventilation (I.e. don't cram it in a tight entertainment center)

I personally would not put it in a space without a little air circulation. This unit is being used in a small alcove with approximately 4-6 inches clearance around and works really well. The air is forced out through the bottom front.

I think a 600 CFM is a little too small. Personally I would look at a 700 or 750 CFM.

None.. Plug it in and enjoy.. NO problems and great air output. Can't go wrong here.

I have it in my cubicle at work and can't get more than 4 or 5 feet from it but you can definitely feel it within that range. It moves a fair amount of air for it's size, and it's quiet. I'm happy with it.

suggest to use it in a small closed room, not larger then 180sq feet (8'h). 2times of 15 min.

Daniel, from the coolerguys website: Personally it I can feel it lightly at two feet. In my tv closet, I have it blowing out to draw air in rather than blowing air over my equipment.Fan Specifications (per fan):Dimensions:80x80x25mmRated Voltage: 5 VoltsConnector: USBTail: 16 inch /From each fan to the USB plugRPM: 1500 +/- 10%Airflow / CFM: 20Noise / dB: 19.7 Bearing: Dual Ball BearingMTFB: 50,000 hrs (over 5 years)Combined specs:Airflow / CFM: 40Noise / db: 22.7

I'm very satisfied with the fan. It's relatively quiet, good air flow and looks nice. It should do fine in a room of that size. You may have to run on the higher speed.

Okay. I already responded that you have to put this device in a small room - and that you have to make sure that there are NO OBSTRUCTIONS TO THE AIR PATHWAYS to and from the vents on the device.

If you need to cool a small space, it's just fine. My home office is tiny and I have this a/c right behind me. I needed to break the plastic vent bec it was shooting all the a/c to the vaulted ceiling. Since I made the adaptation, the cold air blows right on me while computing.

No too small get a 6in fan and filter you need Atleast 400cfm for that square footage

It will be less but it sounds like you have a ventilation problem to solve if temps are too high with T5s in such a small space.

It would need to be close to a window for ventilation. Its suggested to be no more then 4 feet away from the vent source.

If you have a small room it's fine as long as you don't expect the room to be really cold...this air conditioner uses a smaller amount of electricity but isn't a big cooler.... Don't get me wrong it will cool a room and keep it coo it's just not... Well lets say really powerful.

It seems to run so cool for some things that the fan never comes on. I have had the fan come on (which is pretty quiet) occasionally, and it was still running pretty cool. My thought would be that you'll be fine, as long as you have a clear path from the fan area to a good supply of air.

Seems like it would be okay. There's fan mounts on the front, rear, and sides. You can still get plenty of ventilation through the case.
