Well, heat rises :P Convection currents and all that so poss yes - if its feasable. The effect stops working so well when its hot outside though to then you will hace to rely on passing as much cool air through as possible.

maybe box in the unit and put an intake into the front blowing air into the front of the units. leave the top part of the back open to allow the air to escape and for the fans in the pcs to blow the air out

Cheers m8 for that

I was considering that by using a piece of perspex with fans mounted in it. What i realy want is a room fan that is in a tower form. Like the ones that rotate on a stand....

I know this is a bit late, but what about placing a small desk fan on the lower shelf to blow across your boxes?

I think that's probably the easiest/cheapest option, being as you have A/C you just need something to get the air moving at the back of the boxes.
