And bingo on the RGB PC fan covering the modem. Split off the molex and soldered the wires to an AC/DC adapter for power to an outlet. With the enclosure it gets hot. Another fan is on the NVR.
I can't seem to add another picture in the reply but I cut holes in the cover for intake and exhaust fans as well.

Thank you flipflop. I haven't responded to replies yet but yours was very informative and I was your first upvote ^^.
To add:
Yes I'd probably be fine running an extension cord, but do I want to? No.
I'm looking at this from the perspective of installing a permanent electrical device in the home that could be there for the next 20+ years and to potentially new owners.
New codes even require range hoods to be permanently wired. A range hood is infinitely times simpler than a switch... it has a light bulb and a fan and that's it.
So Yeah I think I'm going to romex a receptical in, and get a home media enclosure to recess into the drywall.
It's not a rack but a panel in a closet where all the wires go back to. This is also where all the coax lines go to as well:

All the cable / networking equipment can be mounted in the panel.
P.S. I think I am just going to blow the budget and go with the US-16-150w. That also gives me lots of room to grow in the future and gives me the full Unified setup I want.
