Home Entertainment System cooling

I was wondering how I would be able to cool a home entertainment cabinet. The doors have to be kept open so that everything doesn't overheat. Is there a way fans installed on the outside could be temperature controlled so that when it gets hot they ramp up and idle when they are not needed? Any help/ideas would be appreciated.

Maybe you could have fans but also you could get a flat laptop cooling pad with fan in it and maybe place your system on top of it? Maybe also drill out holes in the cabinet for an intake and an exhaust

Hope I could help!

You could probably get a really cheap/simple thermostat and wire it up to some fans so that when a certain temperature is reached, it triggers the fans to turn on? Not sure if the wiring would be straight up from thermostat to fans, so you might need to look up wiring diagrams or consult an electrician or electrical engineer/technician. Or search online, as I'm sure someone has already made such a thing.

Are there any fan controllers out there that still use the case temp thermal probe?
