Back when I added a DataLink 2400 to my IIe (this would be about 12 years
ago), I was a bit worried about heat buildup.  My solution at the time was
to mount an 80mm fan inside the case.  You can cut out a hole in the bottom
and mount the fan so that it sucks air in; tap power for it off of the power
supply.  Back then, I bought the fan at Radio Shack; nowadays, any computer
store would sell fans as they're commonly used for case cooling.

If you don't want to hack the case, a couple of 60mm fans positioned over
the grillwork toward the front of the case bottom and held in place with
some double-sided foam tape or RTV might work as well.  You can also get
connectors that will let you tap power without cutting and soldering.  IIRC,
they're made by 3M and only need pliers to install.  Radio Shack used to
have them, but I don't know if they still do.
