Generator Enclosure Ideas

I found these on Newegg and wondering if it might be enough to pull the hot air out.

Maybe something like this:

May be a little over kill but my dad aslways told me, it's better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it.

I looked into some of those type of options, but didn't see that one. I will be out near the home stores a little latter today so I plan to stop by and take a look at some of my options.

After a trip to a couple of local hardware stores and some more reading, I am now looking into in line duct fans. They have a small foot print and move more air than the PC fans. I keep looking at the gable fans as they can move quite a bit of air and are fairly in expensive. The only problem is that they are much larger. I am afraid that if I go with a fan of that size it will defeat the structure reducing the noise output. Any thoughts?

Another thing you may want to consider is adding some ducting for the engines air intake. If your genny is in an enclosure breathing hot air (even with fans) it may run too rich,causing increased fuel consumption and engine carbon build up. Just another factor to consider before you build anything.
