hi there, i just have built a new antec 1u server for my house and have a half hight compaq cabinet in the basement where me and my roommates keep various machines. however i am having a problem with my newest machine, it for somereason will not post in the rack after a reset. no bios beep or anything. however it works perfectly fine upstairs when i bring it up to diagnose it. the system was running fine in the rack last night however when i got up this morning i could not connect to the machine through remote desktop so i go down stairs and the machine seems to be stuck in post the fans are spinning but nothings happening, so i reset it, nothing, i power it off a few minutes, nothing, i reset it again, nothing, i get frustrated pull it out of the rack take it upstairs and it boots fine, check the event viewer and the machine restarted after a windows update at 3am. if anyone has any sugestion i would more than appreciate their imput
 
could there be something that is shorting out against the rack? or could it be overheating in the rack?
 
after looking into it further i am leaning towards overheating and i am looking into sugestions on how to lower the temps concidering its a 1u case

Here is the post i made about the cooling issue
