When I mentioned fire hazard i meant more like running indoor power cables to a location inside the plenum of the building as well as the other computer hardware. If that stuff burns it could cause additional safety concerns (burned plastics, rubber...) and so on. It may release chemicals into the air ducts which would could cause health hazards to others in the building.

However very unlikely that this would happen and maybe its just my paranoia.

so you're sticking 2000 watts of heater in the ten-inch plenum of a cheaply-built office building in which you clearly (from the pics) do not occupy the top floor?

and the people in the office above you - which is an office, as floor plans are predictable - won't notice this and get freaked about it... why?

never mind the heat required to spontaneously combust any number of things in the plenum that you'll be heating to 85 C - like the various adhesives, and the wood itself after the fire-retardant chemicals it's infused with evaporate.

holy mother of god.

congratulations on winning the first ever time-shifted Darwin Award...

Yeah, other than the safety risks.... thats pretty freakin sweet LOL!

Looks to me like there's enough air volume in there to spread out the heat, as long as that fan keeps working. Still, you have to wonder if the people in the office above will notice the hot floor and prompt a visit from the HVAC folks!
