I mounted a 120x120mm fan on the angled top part of my cab. It connects to a wall wort with variable voltage settings. It came with a plastic cut out and metal fan grate as it was packaged and sold as a cabinet fan. I don't recall where I got it off hand, but it wasn't much more expensive than the fan alone. Seems to work well. I can feel slightly warm air coming out of it. Not sure if the heat is from the pc or the 21" trinitron.

you will want a fan with ball bearings the cheaper sleeve bearings tend to seize up.
