Your muffin fan should be sufficient if you place an aluminum heat sink coated with thermal paste on top of the enclosure, with the fan blowing down into the heat sink fins.
Folks often use a 12V fan with a 6V power supply to keep the fan noise very quiet.
Another option could be to use the very quiet, compact Vornado Zippi soft blade table fan. The metal stand allows the airflow to be aimed down onto the top of the enclosure. It pushes a lot of air with no noise, whatsoever.
