Assuming you don't have a cat. Monitors can be deadly.
I had a cabinet in which my CPU would overheat and lock-up. I solved it with a 120mm 120v muffin fan. But it is very noisy, I recommend paying close attention to the fans DB rating.
My fan is mounted to draw in cold air at the bottom. It's so powerful that several people have commented on the crotch cooling effect as the air blows out the keyboard drawer opening.

My project is basically a computer built inside of the control panel, I have 3 fans in that thing. It's actually quieter than my home computer. My temperatures linger around 70-80 F.

Can you beleave I do bad in school? Honestly I have been told by profestionals in my job path to drop out and go to a useful school. Im going into game graphics and game programing so in high school im just sitting there to get a peace of meaningless paper. My favorite thing about my cabinet is that it show that games today just are not as good to people that are fan of these new "graphics games." I have gotten offers for me to build cabinets for people and I would have know problem doing them but most people dont relize the work you have to do with them and the price of doing things right. My cabinet is a one player cabinet with street fighter style controls with an i-pac.
Back on topic: a vortex fan system would be a good idea. A vortex is just a name of 2 fans than make a tornado efect. A lot of people that do PC mods with over clocked stuff use them because they keep air moving. Just remeber you cabinets are just a super large case mod.

Nice to see another "kid" in the hobby, I'm 17, and also a fan of the Dead Kennedys (Fresh Fruit for the Rotting Vegetable = badass)
