You could use a small portable refrigerator to house your modem, switch, server, and anything else.

No worries about dirt/dust, or smoke (if you smoke). The noise is minimal depending upon the condition of the unit you buy.

Mine was $20 at the Salvation Army store and was wide enough to mount a 1U rack resting on the bottom.

Depending on the freezer unit, you can just break off the 'container' or unscrew it.

Turn up the thermostat to a reasonable temperature and your running costs are not noticable.

You only need to drill a large enough hole where you want the cables run and use any plumbing or electrical gromet to protect the cable insulators from the metal hole and minimize any temperature leak.

I wouldn't recommend storing your favorite beverage in it as any container of liquid will condense at some point depending on the temperature setting.
