Cooling advice required

I have the following equipment on a storage rack in a cupboard:

Russound CAV6.6
Russound SMS 3 Server
2 x Sky+ boxes
1 x DVD Player

I have 2 vents cut into the door for airflow, but the cupboard is still very warm.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep the cupboard space cool ?
There is a light bulb above the units (which is never on) my installer mentioned a few weeks ago about some type of small fan that plugged into the light bulb rose ?????

I did think about a laptop cooling pad under the CAV6.6 as this is the hottest piece of kit.

Any ideas most welcome

a fan inside the cupboard would help move the air, but it would still be warm, best bet would be too fix 1 or more small pc fans over the top vent, blowing out of the cupboard, this would then allow cooler air in the bottom vent, you would need a regulated 12v power supply to connect the fan too and just leave that plugged in. I no you can get pc fans in 80mm and 120mm so you may be able to get a few of these running. You could also fix one to the bottom to suck air in as this will also help.
