Don't forget ventilation needed - vent through a metal tube to stop

I don't think that will be a problem with maybe 1 PSU per cabinet -
should be able to lose heat by conduction.

But if it were, and intumescent vent is probably what I'd go for (self
seals in a fire)....


Use the Davy lamp principle and fit a fine mesh over the vent.
