Inside Your Basic Burly Enclosure

1. Organizing your remaining wiring in this fashion ensures that you have plenty of room to maneuver, and helps keep things organized.

2. Note the roominess of the interior. Lots of space for heat to radiate into, so it can be blown out the rear of the enclosure by the beefy fan in the backplane. These all-steel enclosures have great cooling characteristics.

3. Now is a good time to restart the CD, and maybe get another beer. You should also inspect the inside of the enclosure, and make sure there are no screws or moisture packets tucked away anywhere.
