i was thinking of jsut hoooking that up to a fan at the top to help extract heat??
I think I'll attempt to print the ABS spre parts before any enclosure is added.... good advice..

As Dave said, you shouldn't let the temperature get too high. As a brand new user that hadn't read ALL the instructions I tried to print ABS and battled. I read that the bed can get to higher temperatures in a box, so I put the printer in the box and set it going!
I'm pretty sure you see where this is heading - the final result was that I softened most of the PLA parts and bearings started slipping and rattling, the head started drooping and other exciting problems! (doh!)
