I agree with Nvy btw, it's a good idea not only to build an air-out fan, you also need an air-inlet.
If you don't let air in, you'll create a "vacuum", and well, vacuum doesn't cool very well!
If you really want to build it well, get it all liquid-cooled, and let the actual cooling happen in a well ventilated place.
Although I can imagine that's hard to fix.
The second solution is to let air in. A simple air-vent in the bottom of your closet door will do:
You can find those in any hardware store, and it'll really, really help keeping the stuff cool when you have tho door closed.
Important is you mount it at the bottom of your door!
For two reasons:
It creates a good airflow
Cold air is low, hot air is high.
Mounting it at the top will not create any airflow at all but from the vent to the air-out
And, the air coming in will not be as cold as possible.
Good luck!
I've installed those things a couple of times, it's not that hard, especially when you get yourself one with a template on where and how to cut

My shower used to "vacuum" because the ventilation pumped more air out then there could get in.
So, I installed such a thingy (they come in all forms of colors and shapes, they don't need to get big)
Since then, I never had any fungus on my ceiling in the bathroom anymore!
