[QUOTE="Dasein77, post: 1092853, member: 167797"] Hi everyone, New to the forum...part time visitor, first time posting. First: I'm working on using my Mac mini exclusively as a movie server. Have it connected to my TV and will be purchasing a 2 terabyte external to transfer all my all my movies to. I like to keep them in video_ts, so I'm having Front Row open at start up and read off of the hard drive. Works great for me... Second: I also have 2 other Macs, an Iphone and a PC that I need to keep backed up. So I was thinking about getting a terabyte Time Capsule to use as my wireless router and as my backup for all non-DVD stuff. So here's my question. I will have the mac mini, external hard drive, and a time capsule all in the same location and I'd like to be able to stack them without worrying about overheating (especially the time capsule). Is there an enclosure unit with a fan that can hold all three and keep them cool? I know I could get individual enclosures for the mac mini and hard drive (do they make a good one for the time capsule?), but I'd like to have one unit, perhaps with shelving and one fan, that could hold all three. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
