As heat naturally rises, it makes sense to vent the cabinet as you say. I have done so on all my builds. Where I do things differently is this: vent is at the lowest point possible. Fan(s) are at the highest reasonable point. You will feel a natural "draft" intake of air through the bottom vents once your fan is on and the cabinet is closed. One fan is usually sufficient at 140mm. If you feel the heat is still excessive or is in a warm room, then of course add your second.
