Are you just using one 80mm fan? I'd probably go with two 120mm fans for that panel.
Doax, here is a link to the fan I have ordered from Mouser.com,

OD127AP-12HB Orion Fans Fans & Blowers

What do you think of this fan? From what I have been reading on the internet these panels should be able to use fans of up to 200 CFM's. You want to move enough air to keep the outside panel temp remains cool to touch. This way you are stripping the maximum hot air from the panel. Am I right in this theory? Thanks again for any thoughts on this.
