R How can I convert a wardrobe into a cabinet suitable for gaming, (want to hide my consoles without overheating them)?
Slightly longer version: I'm converting a small upstairs room in my new house to a gaming office; the dimensions are roughly 9.5 feet long x 6.25 feet in width. There's a also a wardrobe on your left as you enter which is about 2x2 feet square.

I'm thinking I'd like to put in an L-shaped counter top style desk where I could have my gaming pc and I could hide my consoles in the wardrobe. I'd need to drill a few holes in the side of the wardrobe for wiring and make sure the monitor is close enough on the desk to make this work...

My question is: is there a way to make this wardrobe suitable for containing consoles without burning them out from being in an overheated, enclosed space? (Eg install fans inside it or get a door that can accommodate airflow somehow?) I really want to avoid a man cave vibe in there and hide the consoles as best I can, but I'm also conscious that doing this could damage the hardware. Would appreciate any advice!
