An office supply cab.

yeah those are good most of them have lockable doors. but i would have to find a wooden one

i use a $25 small white two door office cabinet. It's made of pressboard and painted dull white. dimension are approximately 30" high, 24 inches wide by 12 inches deep. I fitted it out with weather stripping, caulking and other techniques to deal with light leakage, installed a small fan on the bottom as an intake (and cut a few passive holes) and one at the top as an exhaust. works great...got it at either Lowes or walmart ( <-- i realise those are only good to US peeps, no idea what would be the equivalent overseas). It's one of those you assemble yourself and found it I believe in the closet or room organisation area. here's a pic:

that looks great but i really need something that will just blend into my room so i think i am going to build or buy a wooden cabinet. or just anything that no one would look at and wonder what is inside, or think that anything that looks like nothing would even be inside

solid approach...mine is in my closet and partially covered with clothes so it just blends in...good luck

A wardrobe would blend perf in a bedroom. The thing I like about the steel cab, I feel safer about a fire and use heavy magnets for attaching all kinds of stuff to the walls. Good luck.

maybe i'll go with a metal case with a wood frame
