On the right side of the electronic bay I made two big holes, one at the bottom, one at the top and inside I installed two computer fans. The bottom fan draws air in and the top one draws it out. It's over kill as nothing ever gets hot in there. Ron

My SCR power regulator from China (substitutes the SSR sold by Bruce) has a huge heat sink and came with a 4in ~ 5in 220v fan (is almost the same used in PCs) and a simple thermoswitch that goes over the heat sink (This type. At a given termperature it closes electrical contact and the fan starts.

As I did cut my cabinet in CNC, I made a grill on the side panel right in front of the fan.

Actually it would be better with two grils (one at the top and one at the front of the fan) to gets better air circulation.
