Im making a cage.
Heres the question.
Is it better to have doors that open up on the front or on top.

What sort of monitor and what sort of enclosure?

In most instances, front opening doors are preferable.

It means the heat and humidity aren't going to escape through the unsealed edges of the door(s) and also means you aren't going to be approaching your monitor from above, but from the front. Make sure the bottom of the doors are high enough up to allow for a deep substrate.
