I propose to box in the fans and add a mini-chimney which would suck air from the upper regions of the attic. Add a 180° bend at the end with a flap and filter, and the temp sensor should also be at that height. This set-up should help to keep the fans clean and the noise down.
BTW How noisy are the fans?

Very interesting idea, and I like it! I'll be taking a trip to the home improvement store tonight or tomorrow. I'll see if I can't find something premade that'll make this quicker and easier to put together.
The fans are pretty quiet. I don't anticipate hearing anything except air blowing through the vent when it is on.
