Need help selecting a cool running receiver

I need a new receiver that I can connect and use in an eclosed cabinet behind glass doors. I want either the Onkyo TX-SR705 or the TX-SR606, but I've read that Onkyo receivers have heating issues.

My old Sony never overheats inside the cabinet. Also inside the cabinet is a PS3, a DirecTV HD-DVR, and a Toshiba HD-A3 HD-DVD player.

With my current setup, everything works well.

The cabinet can't go because it's the centerpiece for the whole entertainment center that fits my 65" Mitz DLP TV like a glove. I wish I could share a pic because it's a gorgeous setup.

My old Sony receiver has no HDMI hookups because it's 7 years old. I really want a dual zone 7.1 receiver with plenty of HDMI connectivity. At least 3 HDMI inputs, preferably 4. I've got a $500 budget for the new receiver.

Suggestions?

By the way, are there any quiet fans you can install inside a cabinet such as mine to help devices run cooler?
