I made sure my PC's where remote from the pit itself and that they had
their own cooling. For the pit area, I had vents down by your feet, air is
drawn in through these, and exhausted out of the back behind your head
using a couple of 12v fans.

Although you can't SEE the vents/fans, pics of the pit are at
