I bought a new computer desk for my computer. It has a solid door that closes and hides the PC, which makes it totally enclosed except for a small cut out in the back. I'm just wondering if I should worry about overheating? I know the PC has a small fan inside, I just didn't know if that was sufficient.
 
You should absolutely be terrified of overheating.

Chances are the desk was designed to operate with the front door open (or, more likely, it wasn't considered in the design at all). Even at that, it may not be enough. Make sure your computer is set up to monitor any and all built-in temperature alarms.
