Ooooh, really really bad idea to get an awesome system like that then stick it in a cabinet. Better to get new wife! No really, it really really should not be in a cabinet, that's what PC cases were made for. If you're going to do it, run a dryer exhaust hose from your air conditioner and pump it into the back of the cabinet. Other than that, I'd buy a 10" fan from a hardware store, put it on high and make sure the back of the cabinet is at least 6" from the wall behind it. Better yet, send me your system, I'll enable remote desktop, you get a laptop and play from your house. Seriously, no cabinet, I wouldn't be surprised if it even voids any and all warranty.
