My Dedicated IT cabinet with Golden Tee Fore and Silver Strike bowling seems to run pretty hot since I added the Bowling Kit a few weeks ago. SS Bowling is in the Night hawk chassis which is just essentially a PC so it puts out a fair amount of heat. I'm thinking it might be a good idea to install some fans for ventalation but really didnt want to have to drill holes in the cab walls. Has anyone modified their cabs for fan ventilation? I assume it should have an intake and exhaust fan to be efficient, but Im not sure the best place on the cabinet to install them.

I install 1 4" fan near the top I cut it in the back door as high as possible so it doesn't modify the cabinet most cabs have intake vents in the bottom
 
I broke the back door on my Star Wars UR, so the replacement had a hole cut for a fan. I matched the existing fan size, type, protective cover, etc. that Atari used in SW, so the addition looks good. It makes a world of difference keeping the amplifone cool.
