Could you put one in the floor? Then you would reverse the top fan to blow out. This should give you a very good air exchange...
Just an idea... :)

that wouldn't work out too well because the back of the comp is always hot. PSU blows out hot air from the back and if a fan was to intake air from the back, it wouldn't be any cooler than the one that'd intake from the top. infact, the one that intakes from the top would be cooler :D

here's an idea. have a rubber tube intake cool air from an open AC vent in your room.. that'd suck in cooler air.. lolz!! I'm j/k but not a bad idea what u think? lol

How about a drive bay cooler? or right below the plexi on the right bottom corner. You might have to get a mid size fan with at least 60cfm or better or like ken sugessted put one on the floor maybe a 120m and have the top as an exhaust.
What the heck go for all three ! you'll definately get some serious airflow that way !

what about a single intake from the side (by the pci slot)

I could make a hole in the window and add a fan
