The cabinet is close against the wall (Rear) and (Side) and eventually a worktop will be placed over the existing unit which will act much like a kitchen top and thus flush against the wall.

In this pic you can see theres about 1.2" from the wall to the unit, I "Could" remove the back completely to allow airflow, thats not a problem but I didnt want the unit doors open all the time, which they are now, because they are high gloss and very easy scratched.

I "think" that the reason of so much heat is from my USB external which I put in there, it belts out a huge ammount of heat. I have now unplugged this to see how it goes.

If it still gets too warm in there then i do have another place where i can put the PC where air flow is more abundent. If I could avoid doing that I would though.

Is their anyway I can check the core CPU temperature and GPU via Windows? If I can then I can test the CPU and GPU with the doors shut and doors open and see if they increase or decrease, maybe?
