If you are in need of another cabinet, I happen to have a server cabinet
available. the top portion holds the monitor, there is a middle portion
that could hold a small system, and keyboard, and the bottom area is larger
and could hold another 2 or 3 systems, I believe there is an exhaust fan in
the back of this cabinet also. Let me know if you are interested in it.
Also, I have two stackable hubs (12 or more ports, not sure) that I could
donate as well. I also have some short network cables to accompany the
hubs.
Let me know if these could be helpful.
