Interesting Cooling Situation

In my home office my tower is inside my desk and there is only the cable opening from the back that circulates air. If I keep my desk door closed the computer gets really hot. I was thinking of mounting a fan inside the desk that can act as an 'exhaust' and move out all the hot air. Does anyone have any fan suggestions?
 
Mine has a full open back but really close to the wall.. only about a 2 degree difference from putting it on top of my desk
 
Honestly, my mother has the same sort of setup and I ran all the usual tests and orthos to show her how bad of an idea it was to keep her computer in a desk... To my surprise her temps were very passable despite noticeable heat coming from the desk. I wouldnt worry about it unless your overclocking and even then... just check your temps with coretemp and rivatuner, I bet its not as bad as you'd think.
