Do some research on the Mac Chimney...supposedly the best way to cool them. Mac Bible should explain it for you if you get an earlier edition. It's basically exactly what the name says--a big chimney for the top of the Mac to cool it down!
Here's the one I built back around 1990:

It'snot the professionally die cut one, but it worked for several years.
