This guy did the whole venting thing:

You might be able to contact him to see how this worked out for him.

Also, has anybody ever thought about using one of those portable heater/cooler units. They use a ceramic heating/cooling element. When a voltage is applied to the element, one side gets cold and the other side gets hot. If you reverse the polarity, you get the opposite effect. You blow a fan over the element to circulate the hot/cold air. Here is an example of one:

You could mount your board right inside of the cooler or you could hack just the ceramic element and fan onto an existing case. I'm not sure what kind of power consumption we are talking here though.
