no problem JP, sometimes it takes a little thinking "outside the box!"
you may want to try and shuffle your clothes around too, if you can, so the shorter stuff like shirts hang leaving space over the box, and the long stuff like pants doesnt drape down right on top of the box.

luckily the cabinet was never noisy.
My current plans are to increase the size of the upper hole and somehow install the six inch fan. Like i said zip ties are probably the answer.
I am guessing exhaust can be added together, if that's true i should have more than 300 cfm exhaust. Luckily this last grows weed gives me energy to do stuff. Right down my ally. I am stoked i have more than 4 oz curing of good cannabis i grew myself. yay no seeds!

i think if you put a 3 inch pvc 90 degree turn piece in each of your 2 3 inch holes, and point them away from the big hole on the right. then put the big fan in the big hole on the right, since it is already there. this will cause that big fan to pull air out of those 2 holes, and should in turn create good circulation, and help with temps. especially if you angle the top one towards the top left and the bottom to the bottom left. i think that would creat a could pull through. but with the holes flat like that it doesnt pull through as much of the box cause there is a shorter path for the intake to get to the exhaust. hope that made sense...

Yeah my exhaust is on a 4 inch pvc 90 deg angle piece that is just to the right side of the lights so it collects all the heat.

Major props on explaining that. I will take some measurements to make sure i am correct then i will drop by home depot. I would have never thought of that. I'm high so i had to read it about six times but makes sense to me.

i was thinking, how in the world would i install pvc to the holes? Aluminum tape cant be trusted long term. I know how to glue pvc to pvc but pvc to plastic?

I'll get a pic when the girls wake up. My fan had four screw holes for mounting and the pvc just fit over the fan after a little work with the grinder.
Then I found a cap that fit right in the other end and I put fabric softener and some carbon in the cap. That plus ona gel leaves no smell and it puts my exhaust right in the path of the hot air.
Also leaves my room smelling very nice like clean laundry.

Here you go bud hope this helps a little.
One reason mine works is because the intakes are at the
bottom left and the exhaust is at the top right. This way the fresh
air travels through the entire cab and when it makes it way up it gets heated
by the lights but thats just before it gets sucked out. So basically most of the cab is room temp
and the exhaust is right in the hot spot. This is all with 65 cfm so i'm thinking a bigger fan
and I could turn the other 70 watt hps on and keep all the other 203 watts for 273 watts.
140 HPS 133 CFL's.
I love the way everyone on this site is so ready to help at the drop of a dime.
Good luck my man.

Keep us posted on what helps you jp, I have faith your cab will be much cooler really soon!! After you put that up chain it had me thinking my exhaust is to low! So you just have the passive intake hole bottom left and that exhaust with the 90 on it top right correct? are you venting the exhaust anywhere special or is it just shooting into the room out of the back? This site is the shit! I was very lucky to find this forum when I did!!
JP, when you gonna come check out the journal? I feel left out lol.. No but really when you get a chance come check it out! Girls will be 2 weeks wed!!

for this 90 degree pvc idea to work, do they need to be powered by a pc fan? I have two 120mm fans left over.

No, I would try to leave the 2 90 degree elbows as passive intakes. If temps seem to be out of hand still, maybe trying adding 1 fan at a time to the top, and then switch to the bottom if putting it at the top don't help. I think with that 240mm fan, those 2 intakes being passive, and having there airflow redirected by angled tubing, should be fine. How much cfm does the 240 push?
