I'm getting my first "real" HT started, I had a Bose before, & I've purchased my receiver, a Pioneer VSX 1014. The manual says to keep 8" over the top of the receiver for cooling & unfortunately my entertainment center will only give me 5", & it is enclosed in the back. My idea was to cut a hole in the back where the receiver was & install a small exhaust fan there. The only problem is, is that I can't find any fans quiet enough & small enough to fit in there, & if I were to use a PC fan, I don't know how to hook it up for power. I won't be able to put the receiver anywhere but where it's at in the cabinet. Any suggestions for a newb is appreciated.

Have you checked Radio Shack?

No, do they have a way of powering PC fans from a DC current?

Use a transformer. Or better yet, get a 115VAC fan & just plug it in to a regular outlet.
