"very affordable"? I looked at those and they cost more than twice
the cost of the cabinet itself. But I might end up going with them
anyway, 1500 BTU would cover the 400 watts I generate inside the
cabinet, but I'm more concerned about the outdoor environment/solar
heating effects. How many BTU should I add to account for that?
