Pretty much all power it consumes will be output as heat.
I have everything at my desk running through a cheap Maplin power meter so I can tell my usage:-
And all of that is taking ~120W most of the time. I wouldn't even that amount of heat to be boxed up with limited airflow.
What's the expected load on the server going to be? And what's the rough volume of the cupboard?
A light load in a big cupboard (e.g. 6ft x 3ft x 3ft) is going to be a lot different to a heavier load in a 2ft x 2ft x 2ft cubby hole.
