Keeping temps down!

Howdy have just got myself my second Lian-li 350, the first is running a 550BE (W/C) and a 5750 and is cool and quiet.
My second one is running a I7 920 (W/C) and a 5850 needless to say this is kicking out a fair bit of heat, i have undervolted the CPU to 1V vcore and it happily runs at 3.4Ghz (i did have it at 4Ghz but CPU was hitting 80C) the GPU is pre overclocked.
Im using the Rampage Gene (with a fan on the NB).

Now im a bit worried about putting the sides on, due to the lack of an exhaust, has anyone got any ideas!! has anyone added an exhaust fan to one of the side panels?

been looking at space for a side panel fan. would be a tight squeeze, thinking of going 92mm 1 on each side.

I have a 240 rad in the front bay and the GFX card nearly touches it, airflow is poor.

If you could find those links it would be great.

ive got some bits coming soon will post them in my build log when i get round to putting it up.
Have bought 1 120 RAD grill and a fan, im going to put it on the CPU side panel to exhaust the air, i might depending on how it performs put another one on the GPU side panel to blow air over the GPU, so im get a cross air flow.

edit a bit like the 6th picture down but with no mesh (to start with)
