Closet? Put it out in the middle of the room with a big shelf: http://70.177.55.67:1024/photo_album/do/computer_room/computer0010.jpg
It's ugly and it scares the wife, but it's easy to cool and work with. For thin metal, I use 10" aluminum flashing which can be cut like paper. A good paper cutter makes nice right angle cuts without abusing your knuckles. Either home depot or lowes has it in rolls that last forever. Galvanized sheet is heavier and tougher. Neither seems useful here. Sheet rock and decking screws are the easiest to use. They are cheap and can screw through wood without pre-drilling. The surfboard is an odd shape and it needs a shelf. Mine sits on top of a file cabinet, next to hubs. I suggest you make a shelf on your plywood by screwing in six inches of 1x4 or 2x4 from behind. You could glue foam on instead if sawing a piece of wood is too much trouble. You might then put velco underneath the foot if you have problems with it falling off the shelf. I use a lynksis WAP and a 10 base T hub to talk to other computers in the house. The hub sits in the attic, where it has survived for more than a year. I have three wires to other rooms in the house. The WAP sits on the top shelf and sees my entire lot.
