My computer tower resides on the inside of a desk's cabinet. The enclosure looks similar to this:

The cabinet has a door on the front (which I leave open when I am on the computer), plus a decent sized opening near my feet, and it also has a door on the back of the desk. That rear door is open roughly 3 to 4 inches, as that is all the room I can manage between the desk and the wall.
Unfortunately the computer still overheats whenever I start gaming, so I've had to resort to setting up an oscillating fan that points towards the enclosure. Because my wife doesn't like the aesthetics of this setup, and I don't like the excessive noise, I'm hoping to come up with an alternative solution.
Any suggestions on how to get better air flow through the enclosed cabinet (assuming that I leave the doors open when gaming)?
