Hello fellow HT shackers,
I am building a home entertainment center to house my HT equipment and for my LCD to sit on. I want to include fan cooling into the design (computer-type fans exhausting out the back) to keep the electronics cool.
Now the hard part to me is how to control the cooling. One option is to have a thermostat-controlled AC outlet or switch for the fans. However I don't know where to find something like that.
The other option is controlling it myself. I have an onkyo 1007, and there are no switched outlets on it. Could I integrate the control into the zone 2,3 12V trigger(s)? I believe I could macro this into the remote to turn on with the receiver, etc.
Any advice would be great. Thanks!
