Artistica Home Capiz Round Dining Table

Absolutely love this product.

So I currently have a large corner desk, one end of the desk is a cupboard which acts as the support to hold up the desk. This cupboard was evidently intended to house a computer as there's a cutout in the thin board at the back of the cupboard however, the temperature gets quite toasty in there so for a few months I used it just for my tool boxes. I then built a small media server/file server to run Plex and uTorrent 24/7 as well as handle backups for all my devices. I decided I wouldn't need physical access to this device often and since I wanted to leave it running 24/7 it had to go somewhere quiet and non-disruptive. So I decided to place it in this cupboard, I also put my xbox one and xbox 360 in there too, as well as my network switch and my new Linksys WRT1200AC router. So it's quite a packed cupboard but gives me easy access to the devices if I need to, without taking up precious desk space and causing an eye sore and an ear sore. The biggest dilemma with this setup was the heat build up in this cupboard. With only a small gap above the cupboard door and the small hole in the rear for cables, it didn't take long to heat up.

Enter the AC Infinity AIRPLATE S7. I had considered doing a bit of a DIY job and simply re-purposing 2 computer fans and a mesh filter of some description and wiring them up and mounting them on the back of my cupboard but it all seemed a bit too much work as I'm not the best when it comes to wood work and soldering so I began hunting, I found the AC Infinity and it suited perfectly. It arrived with a small paper template to guide me where to cut and drill holes to install it, the fans etc. came pre-assembled so it was a simple case of drilling the holes and the cutout and popping it in, then plugging it in (via the USB power cable), switching it on and away it went. I plugged it into my xbox one initially since that was the biggest cause of heat so whenever the xbox turned on, the fans turned on too, however I decided I wanted to keep the cupboard extra cool for all my devices so I plugged it into my media server and It's been left on for over 5 months now without a single hiccup.

The cupboard remains cool even with an Xbox One cranked up, a surprisingly warm router, and my media server all packed into a small side cupboard. The fans make short work of it and are nearly impossible to hear when the cupboard door is shut. The rear of the cupboard is just to the side of my bed and I can barely hear the fans, they are absolutely fantastic in terms of noise levels and also manage to shift a great amount of air whilst keeping quiet.

I am so very happy with my purchase, if I ever build a small home theater setup, an AC infinity airplate will be at the top of my shopping list to keep everything cool and quiet. For this use I decided to go for the simple USB setup and not the touch screen panel simply because I couldn't be bothered cutting more holes. For my use case, I want it turned on and left on so the small screen was not necessary. However, if I were to build a home theater setup I would definitely grab the screen and mount it on the side of the TV cabinet.

Again, cannot praise this product enough. If you've got a cabinet or cupboard, or even a drawer where you keep devices or items that get warm then this product is the one for you. Quiet, power efficient and very effective at cooling. Not to mention cost effective too! It works great as a table piece in our home.
