The biggest thing to do is to try and keep a natural airflow. Let physics help you. Heat rises, so bring in cool from the bottom front and get hot out the top and top rear. The side blowing in with a snorkle is a good idea as it gets cool outside air directly to the processor instead of taking heated internal air. Also, try to blow more out than in to maintain a constant flow. Blowing more in than out leaves stagnant air to collect more heat and it has nowhere to go.
