[QUOTE="4Fred, post: 993634, member: 16968"] Now I understand alot better why you dont want it next to the TV ;) The HP Microserver that @[URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/members/erichzann.116360/']erichzann[/URL] links to in post #2 is a good one, have another look at it. Inside the server it will never get below freezing, I cannot under any conditions imagine that if the server is running even if the disks are spinned down. Heat is a much much bigger problem.

When building your own system you can be creative where you put the power button and if you attach the button to the mainboard or not at all to make it childsafe.
