I have used those ultra quiet 120 mm PC fans to cool a number of power amps I own. I have cooled Parasound JC-1s and A21s by mounting the fan under the top cover plate, blowing out. These fans are so quiet you cannot hear them with your head right next to the amp. Took about 25C off the internal temp by doing this. They can be powered using the 12V turn on voltage supplied externally by the amps.
I don't care what anyone says, heat is the mortal enemy to long life of any electronic component. Particularly the electrolytic caps and solid state devices, whose lifetimes drop (and failure rate rises) exponentially with increases in temperature.
