I was just scaning over the boards and ran across this topic. It's easy, just grab a 12V fan out of a computer (power supply fan is what I used), then run wires from the DC power board out to the fan and presto! :D Its not mounted and it's not the prettiest, but it works.

Hope this helps!

I doubt that external fans work, coz not much room for air to circulate, I would recommend you making a heat sink that could reach outside, and then cool that fro outside, making the heat from inside move faster to the outside, making the heatsink keep absorbing more and more heat all the time
