Even if the exhaust goes into the wall, not all of the heat generated is being removed via that pathway. I'd be surprised if the fan on the back of the computer is even 50% efficient at removing heat generated by the computer.

I need to figure out a better air flow solution for the media server.
Currently housed in the hallway closet. The door has about a half inch gap between the bottom of the door and the floor allowing cooler air to enter the closet.
Ive got the back of the server (exhaust side) in the rear corner of the closet. I cut a small hole in the sheet rock and blocked the sides of the server to push the hot air into the wall.
Still has a noticeable temp difference from the floor to ceiling of the closet though. Thought about putting mesh vents or something in the door.

In the end, you still need to remove the hot air from the closet, not just directly from the computer.
Idea I just had since you already have the cool air intake: bathroom fan. $30, hook it up to a switch/thermostat/timer, etc.
