Question about computer ventilation issues in local homes

I keep seeing systems overheating because folks tuck them away in cabinets.

Thermal cameras for this? That's wild.

Oh man, I saw a whole video about this. They used a thermal camera to show how the heat just pools around a PC stuffed in a TV stand. Even with the back open, the temps were way higher than just having it out in the open. It's crazy how much difference a few inches of space makes.
