Hey Jake,

My attic is too hot as well, so I have my setup in the closet of an extra room, and a cabinet in that same room. I've tried the attic thing years ago in NorCal but gave it up cuz heat was too hard to control and limited overhead room.

Insulating the attic with styrofoam panels, etc can control heat if you build an airtight enclosed, but that is lotsa time and $$$.

Good luck bro and thanks for stopping by. Ask as many questions as you want and I'll help ya however I can.....
