the athlon x2 is a pretty hot CPU for what it does (95 watts TDP for only a squeek over 3 ghz.) . from your description, it sounds like you have an AM3 motherboard, in which case, i would look into a CPU with a better architecture and a little less power dissipation needs or a better cooler and a solution to get that heat out of the cabinet.
like mentioned, an all in 1 liquid cooler like the corsair H series can get that heat out of the cabinet, exhausting the air out the back.
but even a simple solution such as a 120mm fan mounted in the back blowing out might be enough to keep the air in the cabinet from getting saturated with heat.

on the daily with an overclocked FX9590 CPU at 5.1ghz dissipating well over 220 watts.
