It wouldn't be that hard to mount a low profile (emphasis LOW) PC-style muffin fan, mounted to blow upward, with the wires running out the back of the GS to an power adapter to accomplish the same thing. Might even be more efficient. You'd have to mod the case - possibly even cutting open a hole on the power supply - but I've seen some very low profile Delta fans that might squeek in without too much hassle.
What I was considering was these modern, very small PC PSUs - taking one of those, making the IIgs PSU case into a sled which holds a nice modern PSU with greater capacity (and better wiring) and a fan with a duct designed to suck air from the computer side of things and out the top, or side.
I think most of my IIgs problems are related to the PSU overheating, rather than components. It really wasn't well designed - I reckon a //e cased IIgs would have a better time of it, more room.
