hot air exhaust problem

hey everyone,
i have a problem with my stealth cabinets ventilation set up plans. i dont know where to exhaust the hot air. now the room temperature already gets very high in summer time 90-95. i am planning to use two seperate 106 cfm mix fans for air outtake. one for cooltube (250 or 400 w) i will set up the cooltube as closed circuit, take air from outside the cabinet and exhaust to the room. and exhaust the grow cabinets air through scrubber to the room with the other fan. i know this will be a big problem it is never adviced to exhaust the hot air to the room because the heat and the moisture will build up in the room but there is no way i can stick a pipe to my cabinet and connect it to anywhere else because it will ruin my stealth.
the best solution i can think of is this:
build a 1 ft x 2 ft x 3 ft cooling compartment inside the cabinet, let the hot air flow here first then to the room through a passive outtake. (if it works i can place dehumidifying powder or a dehumidifying bag manufactured for cars in the cooling compartment). and install a bathroom fan to the room window to suck the air from my room.
do u think this can work? and how much noise it will create. i really need help, this is my biggest problem about my grow cab design for now..
thanx for your help

What's the size of your enclosure, what's the temp outside the enclosure, how big is the enclosure. One thing I can Say for sure is ur gonna need at least an inline fan duct booster or better to be able to use a scrubber. Remember exhaust should be greater than intake. I run 160 cfm duct booster to exhaust and 2 70 cfm 12v 120mm case fans for intake. If ur temp isn't 80 f outside the enclosure stop trying or get an some central air. You can also try to water cool the box but this Is a huge challenge.
