ok I just picked up a A/V rack to house my reciever, cable box, nas, HTPC, router, ect....)

im alittle worried now before my cpu temps in the htpc (in a open area) was 28c-37c idle/load

now in the new closed off rack it's up to 38-46c idle/load

I know it's within a safe temp but I want it to run cooler
any Ideas?

I was thinking of (somehow running a exhaust fan on the back of the rack)
is there a/c case fans that I can plug straight into the power outlet?

You could always mount a PSU and fans on the back side of the AV rack, and wire in a switch.
