Hmm ... Wood being a bad conductor of heat, wouldn't this slightly heat up the internals of the server?

- IshKebab 6y agoNo. Heat isn't expelled out of the top of a server because there's usually another server in the way. Heat comes out of the back.
- HenryBemis 6y agoAnd if/when there is a smoke alarm in your kitchen (or the building), and a fireman will walk through that guy's door, and sees THAT, I would like be a fly on the wall for the explanations he will give. I also enjoy the IKEAHackers, but home-made wooden racks on servers is 'reckless' (I am being super polite here).
- webmobdev 6y agoYes, it is largely expelled from the back due to the fan and ventilation holes, but the metal body also absorbs and expels some heat. It is the latter part that I am talking about (for the topmost rack in contact with the wood in this DIY).
