I have to do the same thing. I want also to isolate the the door with foam stick-on rolls to reduce the noise of my rackmount 3U server that has 4 fans (1x pw, 2x case, 1x cpu).

I will have a suspended ceiling in my basement. I want to know is it enough to blow with a 3 inch 120VAC fan into the ceiling below the ground floor or is it better to blow into a small duck and leads out to a grill in the ceiling of another room ?

Will I have to create an intake to keep the air pressure ok ? Should the intake be near the floor ? If I but a grill in the bottom of the door, the server fan noise will be audible, right?

What's the best setup?
