This is what the full cabinet looks like (internal gadgets have changed a bit now):
This is the door. I can't put a ventilation grille in it, but I could vent it through to the cupboard behind it:
Nice setup, bro.
Gonna do something similar as the wife is always banging on about all the cables and PSU's 
freitasm:
Because of the 118 pages (and counting) of complaints, dating back to September 2014, slow Vodafone fixing things. Being a cable customer since 1999 I had always believed it to be a great platform, but Vodafone managed to screw it up after buying TelstraClear.
I mentioned before if fibre was available on the street before Vodafone fixed cable I would swap. Fibre came, swap in five days. Done.
Edit: more on my blog here.
Hey, I know it's slightly off-topic but I'm so over Vodafone as well (also been a cable client since 2009 - then as TelstraClear).
Supposedly on a 100Mbit line now but never get speeds higher that 65Mbit (speedtest.net)
Also, I code a lot at night (have international clients) and I regularly have no connection late at night for sometimes 30/40 minutes.
Pisses me off no end as I then have to use my mobile 4G hotspot.
Anyway, about to sign up for Orcon 100/20 UFB (maybe 200/20 ?) ... keen as

The Huawai HomeHub gets very warm. I know that excessive heat can shorten the lifespan of electronics, so I've installed a three inch fan in the back of the cabinet. This sucks air through the gap around the door and blows it into the linen cupboard directly behind:
The Huawai is barely warm now.

The fan's a good idea, I've got an 18cm case fan hooked up to the fan connector on the comp motherboard... sucks cool air through holes in floor of 'broom cupboard' and out into ceiling cavity. Keeps it fairly cool, but I do have 2 comps, amp, router and other electrical thingies to keep it toastie. I also put a grate near the bottom of the door for good measure.
I will be very pleased when we eventually reach the 'fibre connected' stage.

This morning the Missus got a phone call from Voda asking if our fibre install yesterday went ahead.
It WENT AHEAD last week. It would appear that communication from the subbie from Downer -> Downer -> Vodafone has failed.

I really loved Cool Hand Luke when i first saw it. Wish I looked like Paul Newman.
I really can't seem to overload my 100/20 no matter what I do. I stream, play games and download things to my hard drive and everything happens without a hitch. Fibre really is like a hot knife through butter.

We're enjoying our fibre here, but we'd really need a faster computer to gain the full benefit.
However, even with the slowish laptop we can stream video on that, watch video on the TV and have a couple of cellphones using the WiFi with no lag. 
It's well worth the bureaucratic hurdles and other hassles that many people have reported on here.
